East Asia Opportunities
Right now I am majoring in Secondary Education- Geography and History and I also am planning on getting the Lutheran Teacher's Diploma. Coming out of college I would be very open to teaching overseas at one of the international schools or working through the LCMS in another teaching or missionary capacity. In addition to working through the LCMS I would be open to teaching for language corps for both the experience and the opportunity to witness to others about Christ.
The international schools in Hong Kong and Shanghai are owned by the LCMS. They serve as educational institutions for the synod offering schooling for grades preschool through high school. Their missions are to offer American-style education that is rooted in the Christian faith. Language Corps is an organization that gives people a variety of opportunities to teach English around the world. Language Corps considers their workers to be "citizen diplomats" who should appreciate other cultures and encourage cultural understanding among the people they work with. The LCMS also coordinates numerous missionary or international education opportunities.
The LCMS World Mission specifically deals with foreign ministry through partner church bodies around the world. The LCMS World Missions has missions work taking place in 88 countries worldwide. The focus of their work is obviously to spread Christ's love and the Gospel message to people worldwide, however their tasks vary from region to region. In Africa, LCMS World Mission focuses on training church leaders. In Asia, the attention is put on the education of people, especially through English instruction. In Latin America the emphasis is put on training missionaries who can evangelize throughout the region. Historically Europe has been very Christian, but less than 5 percent of Europeans attend church regularly. The goal in Europe is to bring people back to their Christian heritage.

The world continues to become more interconnected and it is very noticeable especially through opportunities people can have around the world. Even just teaching English can take you all around the world. The challenges of ministry are prevalent wherever one may go, but the hope in all of it is to bring people to Christ.
