David Coggin coordinates this programme which is designed for people who speak English as a second language. FriendSpeak matches internationals visiting this country with Christians who assist them in reading the Bible to improve their English skills. This is part of a world wide programme called Let's Start Talking. Usually, the visitor is also interested in learning about Christianity, so this programme serves two purposes. Normally, the Christian and the visitor form strong friendships that make it easy to share the gospel message and enrich the lives of both.
