Befriend an International Student with ISI
You can potentially impact the destiny of a whole nation through one

world were international students in the USA! By joining the ISI
friendship partner program you can have a chance to befriend one
of the world's future leaders that have come here to study. The
commitment is once per month for one year to invite a student into
your home and share the love of Jesus with them in practical ways.
You can do this! Please contact our church's team leader via the
church office or contact Don Manta at 731-1311 or the ISI office
