- WHO WE ARE
ESI is a Christian educational organization committed to meeting real needs through biblical service.
- WHAT WE DO
ESI teaches and trains internationally in the disciplines of English, international law, business, computers and special education at the secondary and higher education levels. Our newest programs in the Mediterranean focus on primary education.
- OUR PURPOSE
To recruit, train, and send educators to developing countries. To provide and implement this service in the spirit of Christ. To express His life through the lives of our teachers.
- STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe in : The unique Divine inspiration, entire trustworthiness and authority of the Bible; The Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; The death of Jesus Christ as a necessary and effective payment for the sin of the world; The historic fact of His bodily resurrection; The presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration; The expectation of the personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- OUR SUPPORTERS
Private foundations, business corporations, Christian organizations, and individuals who are interested in international development through Christian service.
- OUR VISION
- ESI helps hungary_people grow, develop, and change. Transformation occurs for both the hungary_people who go and those whom they serve. Specifically, ESI enables North American Christians to impact hungary_people who do not know Christ while being transformed themselves through a challenging overseas experience.
- ESI is a strategic bridge between cultures. By equipping hungary_people and developing programs to meet real social, economic, and educational needs, ESI provides an effective and credible model of Christian service.
- ESI is a team-based ministry which prepares teams of Christians to serve through short-term educational programs and through incarnational love.
- OUR HISTORY
ESI began as Educational Services Exchange with China (ESEC) in 1981 with
two English language programs. We now have more than one hundred programs
located in various countries, including China, Romania, Hungary, the Czech
Republic, Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakstan. We have
sent more than one thousand teachers worldwide and continue to pioneer
programs in new areas such as Morocco, Turkey and Egypt.
