NETWORK LIFE

By Cheryl Welsh, Converge Canada
At Converge Canada, we believe that through our ministry and partnerships, more Canadians would engage in Scripture and be equipped to share the Gospel. Through the Holy Spirit, more lives are transformed by the Living Word of God.
We have been so excited to develop ESL as a Ministry in Canada.
“Hello everyone, I am very glad to have this opportunity to share with you! I am Fiona. I have learned English in ESL class for two years. The ESL material is a good source that helps me to check my learning progress. There are many interesting bible stories that I’ve never heard before. The teachers are all very nice and easy-going. I would like to thank the church for providing us with this great learning opportunity, and I will keep working hard on learning English from now on.”
Converge Canada is so excited to read this testimony from Fiona, a second year English as a Second Language Student from Coquitlam, BC.
Through our partnership and relationship with Bible League International, Westwood Alliance is using Firm Foundations ESL Program Material. This is curriculum specifically designed and approved as ESL and also incorporates Gospel learnings. The students learn more about the gospel each week and introductions to the Holy Bible as they progress annually in their studies.
Converge Canada and Westwood Alliance began our Partnership four years ago with the desire to use ESL as a Program to engage the community in Gospel knowledge and Biblical Literacy. Since that time, we have seen over sixty students participate with a graduating class of twenty in Spring 2022.
