Opportunities to form relationships with internationals in academic settings are greater than ever and they can be very rewarding and exciting.  Students come from all over the world to study in the United States and they can be found in both large cities and small towns.  As members of the International Team we believe ministry among this population is a crucial way that Christians in the United States can impact the world without ever having to travel abroad.  Many of these students will move on to be future world leaders, or at the very least they will likely hold influential positions in society. In addition to that, many of these students come from countries where they have little or no chance to hear about Jesus or to befriend dedicated followers of Christ.  We have a unique opportunity as Americans and as Christians to welcome and serve these dear ones in the name of Jesus. If you would like to know more about our work with internationals in academic settings or if you would like to know how to begin a ministry like this in your city, please contact the CBF volunteer office.
