Who We Are

THE NEED

The university campus is the modern day crossroads of the world. Like the first century Day of Pentecost it brings people of all nationalities and cultures together into the marketplace of modern thought.  Today 850,000 international students and visiting scholars walk the campuses in search for purpose and meaning.  They come from more than 200 countries (many of these countries restrict access to or are openly hostile towards the gospel).  Enrollment numbers of these students flocking to our campuses grows by 8 – 9 % every year with no anticipation of decline in the years ahead.  Many of these future leaders of the world are eager to develop friendships with Christians and hear about the gospel during their stay in the US.

THE VISION

In response to God’s grace and love for us, We graciously and respectfully reach out to international students studying at the universities and colleges in the United States so they may know Jesus as Lord and deepen their personal relationship with Him.

OUR OBJECTIVES

Invite people to become faithful prayer partners for internationals students and those ministering with them.

Meet, serve, and connect international students to life on campus in the USA through a welcoming campus community.
