Critical Teachers

Teachers of missionary children (MK teachers) are identified as critical when:

1. They teach in situations where there is a reasonable possibility that missionaries would leave the field because teaching positions were not filled. 

2. They teach in schools where MKs attend and where accreditation of their school would be threatened if there were not enough teachers

3. They teach in situations where an increased burden would be placed on missionary parents who would have to set aside their own missionary jobs in order to assume home-schooling responsibilities because there was not a teacher available.

4. They teach in schools where missionaries would be pulled from their jobs to fill teaching positions if there were not enough teachers.

5. They teach in schools where missionary families would have to pay extraordinarily high tuition at international schools because an MK teacher was not available.

6. They teach in schools where they are needed to fulfill a contract (often a secular international school).

7. They teach in a very small school with multiple grade classrooms with one, two, or three rooms and where all the kids are taught by one, two, or three teachers. If a teacher is not there other teachers would have to assume additional responsibilities.

8. They are participating in getting a new school started.

Please note: These positions require individuals who are faith supported and therefore represent a team of supporters who not only provide financial support but also prayer support. These important positions require a lot of an individual and application to and acceptance of a position should not be taken lightly. Satan routinely attacks these individuals so the prayer support team is very important. The rewards of teaching in these situations are incredible. Being at the front line of contributing to taking the Word of God to the four corners of the earth is a tremendous and significant thing to do with one's life! If you are serious about teaching these children, please view the three videos below and many more scattered throughout this web site in order to catch the tremendous significance teachers play in supporting front line missionaries.
