"I love that there’s a way for me to participate in reaching the nations without having to raise funds and get a passport. It gives me the opportunity to become friends with an international I’d likely never meet otherwise.
The training videos addressed just about every situation and question I could think of. Tyler included lots of personal stories, fun humor, and helpful resources to prepare me for my Conversation Partner.
As a mother, it especially excites me to think of how this experience is going to bless my family: participating in hospitality together; learning about a new culture; growing in boldness and love; and witnessing what God will do in the life of my Conversation Partner over next 30 weeks and beyond.
I’m a little nervous, but I know God will be the real conversation partner, and I am trusting that."

"'My Conversation Partner is a refugee from Myanmar who works at her Aunt’s sushi shop and told me, “This class will help me communicate with my clients when I get my own franchise.”
I recommend this course to anyone who desires to reach the nations but does not feel very equipped. If you speak English, you can do this!
Whether it is introducing an international student to Jesus, or helping a Christian refugee realize their dreams, English With Friends is powerful."

"If you had met me at the airport about 40 years ago as I boarded the flight from China to America, and told me that I would someday patent a technology that would help restore the sight of millions, and that I would also exchange atheism for Christianity, I would not have believed you.
My story could have never become a reality had I not become friends with a Christian professor, and become fluent in English.
International students today are no different. They arrive with big ambitions, big questions, and the potential to make a big impact in the world. But they need Christians to help them improve their English and to introduce them to Jesus.
That’s why I am so excited about what God is doing through English With Friends; an ingenious program that offers English and the Bible in the context of friendship and hospitality.
As I imagine the impact it will have made on the world forty years from now, I see it as being another hard-to-believe story that became a reality!"

"English With Friends is going to become the go-to resource for believers (and churches to train their people) to welcome Internationals well! Professional, intentional and FUN, Tyler is just the champion to coach you into greater fruitfulness in the Kingdom in a simple, easy-to-follow way using something you already know—English. Anyone can do this!"

“English With Friends will be an enormous help to any Christian, church or campus organization that desires to build cross-cultural bridges with international students, refugees, and immigrants, in order to share the Gospel. This approach will help anyone find the common ground necessary to have conversations that could have eternal significance.”

Not only will this program provide what internationals both want (improving English) and need (discovering Jesus), but imagine what this experience can also do for…
Our Faith – broadening our world through cross-cultural friendships and adventures, as our walk with God is deepened through confidence and obedience.
Our Families – raising children who have watched parents live out their faith, as they open their homes, share meals, and witness people from other countries and religions asking questions, receiving Bibles, and following Jesus; often at the risk of persecution.
Our Churches – creating a new atmosphere of hospitality and discipleship, as more and more Christians partner with the Holy Spirit and discover the role they each have to play in fulfilling the Great Commission and the Greatest Commandments.
Our Communities – easing tensions and building bridges, as city after city is blessed with increased opportunities for peace and prosperity.
That’s the vision of English With Friends: believer after believer, church after church, city after city, nation after nation, generation after generation. For Jesus said, “I am with you to the end of the age.”
