Education
Amity Teachers Support
The Amity Foundation, initiated by Chinese Christians, has asked U.S. churches to support the Teachers Project by sending teachers of English to teach in colleges and institutions that cannot afford to hire foreign teachers. Presbyterians and others are invited as Christians to relate to the Christian community there, though not to do mission work. The sending churches, through the National Council of Churches’ China Program, financially support them. The support of one teacher per year is about $9,000. |
