Story-telling: A Life Journey through ELT
(virtual) Session 1 on Friday, March 8, from 2:15-2:45 PM (PT)
From a small bayou town in Louisiana to a career teaching English across the globe, hear one person's story of how God used a hurricane to re-spin a life into one called to "invite the foreigner." Consider your own vocation and open your heart to reflect on your journey in the field of ELT.
