Jane Martuneac finishes 1st year teaching in China

Jane Martuneac, 2001 MMBA grad, was an English teacher at Yi Ji Yi Zhong high school in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, China this past year. Jane taught English to 600 students with her classes averaging 70-80 students. She is employed by Worldwide Tentmakers and plans to return on August 25th for her second year. Although China is closed to mission work and the teaching of Christianity, Jane has been able to present the Gospel through the teaching of American holidays and proverbs from the Bible.

The city of Baotou is located by the Gobi desert. Baotou is known for its extremely cold winters and the sand storms in the spring.

Pray for Jane as she continues to learn the Chinese language and for her witnessing opportunities.
