HIStory Continues

We first started coming to EA in 2005.  It started with short term trips to teach English in a university during the summer months.  We used a few American Holidays (Christmas and Easter) to teach HIStory. We would share about 90% American Holidays and 10% HIStory.

Then, we actually quit our American jobs, sold our house/possessions/vehicles, packed a "few" bags, and moved to EA full time to learn Chinese in a university.  We still used American Holidays to teach HIStory, but we began to expand our lessons (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Valentine's). And, we began to expand the HIStory-part to about 10% American Holidays and 90% HIStory.

Recently, we have had lots of opportunities to expand our lessons (Thanksgiving/Creation; Fall; 10 Commandments/Sacrifice system; Birth; Miracles; Teachings; Death; and Resurrection) and to pretty much move to 100% HIStory.  It's been a glorious journey, and WE have learned a lot in the process.







We literally have opportunities ALL YEAR LONG to go into local elementary, junior, high, and university classrooms; English cram schools; SS classes; Camps; VBS-type events; Story-telling classes; homes; etc. to tell HIStory.  Remember us, remember our local partners, remember the students on a daily basis!  And, consider coming over to help us.  It will change your life forever.  It REALLY changed ours!!
