Great Ministry Opportunity

I received this email from an organization who need some space for exchange students coming to Juneau. If you are interested or know someone who can help, respond or pass on the information.

Pray about it. Think about it. This would be an amazing opportunity! Here's all the information I received...

Dear Church,

 

My name is Taralee Ellis; I am working for a nonprofit foundation that administers two federally funded scholarships.  We bring high school teens from the former Soviet Union (FLEX program) and countries with significant Muslim populations (YES program) to Juneau for a school year.

 

I am contacting you today to find out if there is any way your church might help me find homes for these students. First off I ask that you join me in prayer that God will find homes for these students, secondly to spread the word in your congregation about this rewarding opportunity and thirdly to spread the word in the Juneau area about three fantastic exchange students that are coming to Juneau for the upcoming academic year. All have great English skills and have a variety of interests – from music to theater, and student government to volleyball.  You can find out a little more about each student through their student profile link (click, or copy and paste in your web browser to view):

At the PAX program, we bring high school teens on both the FLEX and YES programs to Alaska for a school year, but we are currently even seeking host families that could possibly welcome the student for 8 weeks to start the school year. We need host families to provide a warm and loving home environment, a bed, and three meals a day.  It is a one of a kind experience, and an opportunity to make a positive difference in a young person’s life. 

 

I was wondering if you can please pass my posting below to your members to alert them of this unique educational opportunity and see if anybody might be interested. I would also be happy to come speak to your church or youth group about this program at any time.

 

Please contact me ASAP if you are interested or happen to know someone who is able to help out.  We need to find a home for these three students within the next two weeks to make their American dreams come true.

 

Thank you in advance for your help to make the world smaller and reaching out to share God's love.  My contact information is listed below please contact me if you have any questions, or would like to set up a time to speak with me in person and to learn more.

 

Warmly,

 

Taralee Ellis
