Teaching Assistant in After School Programs

The Himalayan region is the home of hundreds of Tibetan Buddhist people groups, hardy folk that are able to eke out a living under difficult conditions. Few of these peoples have a significant Christian witness. However, we believe that once the Tibetan people are reached, the other people groups will soon follow! They can have an amazing multiplying impact around the world, including in the Western world, where Buddhism has started to make inroads.

Our team based in the Himalayas has a vision to ignite church planting movements among the Tibetan Buddhist peoples. Reaching these peoples with the good news of Jesus requires dedication and patience. Our activities include personal evangelism, a house of prayer, a children’s ministry center, video production, language classes and outreaches to remote areas.

The community has a felt need for a safe place for children outside school hours. An after-school center is currently being established for children aged between 6 and 12 years old. The school has 25 students. The school is unashamedly Christian and engages the children with the Gospel of Jesus.

Goers in this position will:

•Help the Teacher with lesson preparation, including collecting materials and setting up equipment

•Provide assistance with homework assignments

•Supervise students

•Track attendance

•Collaborate with the Teacher to identify students’ issues and recommend solutions

During school breaks the Teaching Assistant will take part in Vacation Bible Clubs. The Teaching Assistant will also study the local language and actively take part in personal evangelism.
