English teacher quotes
"Our students were amazed that we would spend our own time and money to come to China to help them with their spoken English – and were interested that our doing this was because of our being Christians. And it was a powerful sign of our faith. I was told once years ago – “You may be the only Bible someone will ever read,” and CSV’s work is similar."
 | "We came to China to teach and share God’s love through our teaching. Our students are now going back to their schools to share with others. Students asked how they can get CSV teachers to come to their schools. It is exciting to see how God can use what seems like “the little we did” to reach so many others." |
"The greatest satisfaction was seeing the excitement of our students in everything we did. Their pronunciation improved and they were eager to learn new teaching methods. They were excited to share their culture and learn about ours. Their confidence in their use of English improved."
"We all certainly got a taste of a different way of life from our Western decadent way. We all were here to help our students broaden their horizons personally and professionally, and answer their questions. Our comfort zone was stretched considerably, but our students emphasized to us that they appreciate our efforts."
"Before I came to China, I was under the impression that service is not something Chinese do. In fact, when we had conversations with Chinese about CSV teachers coming as volunteers to China, they were quite surprised that we’d do such a thing. On the other hand, I observed many Chinese people who very willingly served our team and each other. My service as a teacher of English was little for me. I have so much. Many Chinese who have so little often give more."
