BEBF Welcomes International Business Partners and Associates to the USA

Are you in the Puget Sound as a member of a Global Partner Team, or are you an international guest, and you have business with Boeing, and you will be here for awhile? Perhaps you know someone who is?

The Boeing Employees Bible Fellowship (BEBF) welcomes our international friends to Boeing! We want to provide a warm, friendly welcome for you as our guest in America's Pacific Northwest. We hope that you will take advantage of the many opportunities for friendship partners and outings with Americans.

We are so pleased to participate in cultural exchange opportunities with our special international guests who are in our neighborhood. We are cooperating with several organizations in the area that have ongoing gatherings and special events for welcoming international guests and introducing them to Northwest living. Several of these associations provide relaxed, fun settings for practicing the English language. We hope that you will give us a chance to get to know more about you and your culture, and we hope to help you learn more about the American way of life.

It is our heartfelt wish that you will get to know our website and find out more about how we can serve you. If there is any way that we can help you feel more at home here, let us know.
( BEBF contact:  Hank Myers  hankmep@yahoo.com )

Invite friends to check us out, too.

English Conversation Classes

Conversation Partners - With a view toward helping international students achieve academic milestones, we offer connections with conversation partners to assist in overcoming the real hurdle that English poses along the way. Conversation partners also provide a way to develop friendships through weekly times of English conversation between native speakers and international students.

Contact Jeff Nelson at isiwa@comcast.net

Friendship Partners - Friendships develop through monthly meetings inside or outside an American home, with weekly phone or email contact made between the Americans and the international students.

Contact Simon Zeigler at isiseattle@aol.com

Professional Partners - another way to develop friendships is through Americans mentoring international students who are preparing to enter the same profession. They meet each other on or off the job site.

Contact Simon Zeigler at isiseattle@aol.com

Talk Time - Friendships develop through weekly meetings, usually at a church facility, using a one-on-one or small group table-top discussion format (e.g., www.speechtree.com). Talk Time locations and contacts:
