I have no idea which college to go for. I want to be a ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher so I would need to major in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and I want to do it for ministry. Now, there are very few Christian colleges that have the kind of TESOL program that I want. I have narrowed it down to two and a possible third. The main two that I am struggling with are both so amazing! The first one is Appalachian Bible College in West Virginia. The people there sound so nice and spiritual and I get to pick a country to study in in my third year. The second is Briercrest College and Seminary in Canada. I really want to go to college outside of the U.S. and this one has so many opportunities to go out and practice my new found teaching skills! And they also hve The third is more of a fallback college in Oregon. I just need a clear sign from GOD; A definite "Yes, this one" "No, not that one". I just don't want to be stuck between what I want and what GOD wants.

I don't know anything about these particular schools, but spend a lot of time counseling people about college choices (albeit mostly grad school). Sometimes it can be useful to track down alums from the schools you are considering attending and get their views. Indeed, you can even ask the schools to put you in touch with alums who are pursuing career paths similar to what you envision. If they can't name any such alums, that is itself a signal that the school might not be the best fit for you.

Lord give this person wisdom in Jesus Name. But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect... — 1 Peter 3:15
