Connection & Empathy
PersonalizeGood morning! My name is [your name] and I'm honored to be here and I appreciate you taking a few minutes with me. Mostly, I'm here simply because I believe we all want to live our lives with meaning and a sense of purpose that has eternal significance. And I think we are all looking for an opportunity to live out that purpose.
Articulate the Problem
Keep the themeThe problem we often run into is — where do I start? And who can I trust? It's normal to try to find a community of people who are on the same journey as you and have similar desires to live life with purpose and on a mission.
How That Problem Makes Them Feel
Keep the themeWhen we want to live our lives with purpose but struggle to find the right opportunity and community, that can leave us feeling frustrated and even confused. Then we question if that's even possible.
Present ELIC as the Bridge
RequiredELIC believes that everyone who wants to live a life of purpose should have an opportunity to do so. And that's why I'm here…
I understand your struggle / completely relate to this / have been in that spot before.
And that's why I was personally drawn to ELIC and why I want to share with you how you can get involved.
We take your calling seriously because we share the same calling.
Explain What Makes ELIC Credible
RequiredFor more than 40 years, we've had the privilege to send & support over 15,000 people just like you. We've sent people from nearly every major and professional background. We partner with governments and universities in over a dozen countries that are difficult to access without a professional platform and appropriate credentials. We have more opportunities globally than we could possibly cover today.
Explain What ELIC Actually Does
RequiredHere's the basic idea of what we do: ELIC sends people from across North America to serve on a team to provide English education at the invitation of governments and institutions. ELIC provides all the necessary training, regardless of your professional or educational background. Our strategy is to build authentic friendships & community in the places we live and work. This includes our students, our colleagues, and our neighbors. Our mission is to intentionally work in places that most people can't go.
Three key opportunities:
- English camps ranging from 10 days to 4 weeks in the spring or summer
- A 9-month intentional mentorship program based in Thailand or Tunisia
- A year or longer teaching placements throughout Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa
In a moment, I want to give you an opportunity to schedule some one-on-one time with me to ask all of your questions about the specific details of what this might look like for you. If this sounds remotely exciting to you, I know you have a lot of questions. But that's why I'm here. Let's make sure we grab some time together.
Connect Back to Our Theological Basis
RequiredWhat Jesus told us to do is pretty clear — take His message to the entire world. The problem is there are still major parts of the world that have no access to the Gospel. But through education, we get to live and work alongside people who are in desperate need of the Gospel message. As Jesus followers, we are all on a mission. ELIC is an organization that's uniquely designed to provide a pathway and community for you to fulfill your mission and calling.
