International Students in the U.S. The World is Here > Approximately one million from 200 countries > Best and brightest future world leaders > Need help with conversational English > Lonely and open to genuine friendships with Americans > Curious, they would like to know more about America, our culture, Christianity, God, and the Bible. > 70%-80% will never be invited into an American home or visit a church "I am interested in trusting Jesus, but need to learn more. I never knew anything about the Bible or Jesus until I came to America." - Jasper (China) International Student Ministry What It Looks Like > Americans personally connecting with students for friendship, conversation, and cultural learning > Loving, serving and blessing students by helping meet their personal, practical and social needs > Sharing the love and good news of Jesus Christ "Very few Americans help foreign students and we appreciate you and ISI for helping students. You give us a platform to make new international and American friends." - Zhang (China) "I am very grateful for the friendships and opportunities to meet Americans and international students from other countries. My time here wouldn't have been the same without you guys." - Rohit (India) “We've been totally blessed volunteering with ISI. We have learned so much. And, have fallen in love with many of the students. We hope that God will use what we learned here in our new work overseas.” -Eric and Wendy, Volunteers |
Strategic OpportunitiesInternational students are a strategic mission field God has brought right to our doorstep, as almost 60% come from nations with limited or no access to the gospel. By reaching students with the love and good news of Jesus Christ, you can reach the world right here, right now and help fulfill the Great Commission.
