Hi there,
Here are some brief highlights from roofbreakers and the Hope ESL project.
"I think it is dynamite! I think you've got a winner here and it can go and do many great things."
US Internet evangelist
- In the last 5 months we have personally distributed 1650 free copies of the Hope ESL disc to a global group of mainly missionaries, teachers and students.
- The Indonesian support version of the ESL material is complete. (It is similar to the Mandarin version you can find in the root directory of each disc. See attachment.)
- We partnered with Darlene & Mark Zschech's organisation Hope Rwanda in Africa. "We were able to personally distribute many (hundreds) of disks individually to teachers - who asked for them. And to all christian school teachers who were [at the Rwandan Education conference] as well as through the Association of Christian Teachers. Everyone who has seen it has loved it and raved about it." The Rwandan Ministry of Education has asked that the disk go for approval to be entered into the national curriculum for national distribution and training.
- We have been just been granted limited rights to develop the South African film "Faith Like Potatoes" into ESL material www.faithlikepotatoes
.com/.
- This month we rejoiced that the Hope ESL was offered for free download for the first time due to an urgent request from Senegal Africa. The link to download the complete software is http://www.roofbreakers.com/
TheHOPEesl.iso .
The vision is to take people to Jesus from all nations through reproducible, gospel centered, ESL software.
Here are some ways you could get behind us...
- Fill in a 5 min survey about your thoughts & experiences
- Consider donating to cover the postage for others so that we can continue to offer free copies. (www.roofbreakers.org)
- Copy the Hope disc and give it away.... to people learning English or to missionaries/organisations who work in high need areas.
- Pray that God would bring someone across your path personally whom you could tutor/disciple through the Hope ESL.

"I have just come across an excellent tool for those who teach English as a second language (ESL). It is a free CD, based on the principles of the language learning expert, Greg Thompson, which teaches English based around the chronological gospel film "The Hope". It works in a somewhat similar manner to the Rosetta Stone language learning series, with students interacting with audio and text in English. I have had a bit of a play with the CD and it looks excellent, with the religious content gently spread throughout the lessons in a natural way. In the process of learning English the student will also learn several key biblical stories."

"Love the Hope CD! We are promoting it to our contacts here in Canada." http://southern-ontario-esl-ministries.blogspot.com/2009/06/review-of-hope-esl-curriculum-cd.html

"I've given the Hope to 8 full-time CCC workers, to 2 Dentistry doctors, to 40 Dentistry students in my English class who snapped them up real fast after class and asked if they could copy them for their friends because their weren't enough left and to 8 Uni students who were learning English with me."

"We see The Hope ESOL as a cutting edge tool to reach these International students for the Lord ...as well as to Mission mind people home and abroad."
Australia
"[Our students] are all adults like ourselves and they've got issues and things that they could talk about and this [curriculum] gives them the facility to do that. It has been just so exciting to see people increase in their understanding and come to faith. I can't recommend it high enough." a Church ESL program

"We had a good week. My only mistake was in asking for only 4 copies of your disk instead of 40! I had thought that by now many others might already know of it - but it seemed no one did. And lots of people were interested to get a copy!"
