Save Souls - Make Friends - Teach English and GED Preparation. Project Light is the Conference choice for teaching English as a Second Language. Using computers to display the program the student hears, sees and develops some minimum computer skills. In the United States many people are broken and oppressed by illiteracy and the inability to communicate in English. We plant Learning Centers where communities want to solve the problems associated with illiteracy and/or where people have a need to learn English. We train those Organizations on how to start-up Learning and tutor students using Project Light's One-to-One Literacy & ESL Solutions. Project Light is about serving others by providing technology and building relationships. It's about ministering to those in need; it's about making the world a better place by shining light into the darkness. Project Light uses The Christian Literary Series to teach English; 107 of the 114 lessons use Bible Readings and Bible Stories. The second side of Project Light is called Zero to Five. This portion of the program can take a person from not reading or writing any English to functioning at a Fifth Grade Level in approximately 18 months. The teaching is done in the Tutor / Student Model where a tutor is matched with a student. The first thing done is to make a friend, then try to save a Soul and finally teach English. The Tutor shares their faith with the student by talking about their church, helping the student understand basic needs – going to the Doctor, obtaining utilities, grocery shopping – part of the lesson is practicing use of English. There are currently Project Light Learning Centers located in FUMC Big Spring, Northridge UMC Lamesa, Asbury UMC Lubbock, Bovina UMC Bovina, and FUMC Dumas. The program has helped set up Centers in McAllen, Texas, Alpine New Mexico and Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. Conference Coordinator: Orby Brooks of FUMC Dumas.
