testimonies
“When I first arrived at EFM, I could only introduce myself in English. But now I feel like I have a greater purpose – getting close to God. I didn’t just learn English but also how to love and help my neighbor. I can do many things now with God like preach the gospel and lead worship. There’s a freedom I didn’t know I had.”
Eunji
South Korea
"Being part of EFM was amazing! My sister had already attended the school in 2015 and recommended the course to me. I was able to improve my English skills and was able to get closer to God. Great course and an unforgettable experience. Thank you to everyone at EFM"

"EFM for me was a watershed, it was not just learning English, but God's care in another language"
