We have found that Empty Nesters and Retirees make great volunteers. Also, families with children can build lasting friendships with internationals. Anyone who loves Jesus, is open to new perspectives and can care about people made in God's image are welcome to volunteer.
Who can volunteer?
What do Volunteers do?
Primarily, we seek volunteers who will focus on caring for 1-2 international students. Additionally, we look for folks who will be able to help us mobilize families, churches and groups of churches to love and care for international students.
We also are seeking volunteers who can serve us with their administrative skills.
WhY Volunteer?
Because there are many international students, we need you to help us serve them all and serve them well.
'Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”' (Matthew 28:18-20)
Volunteers Pray!!!
“This is the confidence we have before him:
If we ask anything according to his will,
he hears us.
And if we know that he hears
whatever we ask,
we know that we have what we have asked of him.”
1 John 5:14-15 CSB
Please "ask" for His help making disciples among these 104+ nations,
