THE GREAT COMMISSION – Matthew 28:19-20“Therefore go 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 obey everything I have commanded you.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Dr. Tom Philips, “Statistics show that over the last 100 years

less than half of ONE PERCENT of American and Canadian Christians have actually participated in international missions

and gone out to work OVERSEAS.”

International Students Are Among the Future Leaders of the World

Dr. Tom Phillips says, "It is perhaps the most practical and strategic way for the average American to have a long-term

impact on the unreached people of our world. Few American Christians will go to live in the 10/40 window

countries, yet the majority of these Americans live within a few minutes of a student from the

10/40 window."2.)

Bill Bright, “Every soul is equally precious

in God's sight, but not every soul is equally strategic.”

Billy Graham, “Every Christian in America should help reach international students for Christ.”

3.) THE PEOPLE WE SHOULD LOVEDeveloping Friendships with International Students

What Challenges Do International Students Face?

Language: Bridging the gap between classroom language study and conversational skills, slang, idioms, puns, and jokes.

Lack of Friendships: Surveys show that many don’t make a lasting American friendship.

Culture Shock: Feelings of surprise, disorientation, confusion, due to the difficulty of assimilating into a new social environment.

Results: Frustration, homesickness, desire to withdraw, feelings of isolation and rejection.

Leviticus 19:33-34“When a foreigner resides among you in your land,

do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born.

Love them as yourself."3.)

Jesus is (kind of) an international student

himself.

Dr. Tom Philips, “Statistics prove that among the

international students who study in the U.S., historically 70% have never been invited to an American HOME

during their stay. More than 85% are never invited to an American

church or have any meaningful contact with genuine Christians during an

average stay of FOUR years.”

4.) THE RESOURCES WE SHOULD UTILIZEBenefiting from the Knowledge & Experience of Others

5.) THE MINISTRIES WE SHOULD CONSIDERImplementing Programs and Recruiting Volunteers

2.) Invite Them To Hang Out

3.) Be A Friend, Whether They Express Interest in Christianity or Not

1.) Do What You Do With American Students

4.) Experiment With Programs

6.) Determine to Befriend ONE International Student This Year

5.) Cast the Vision & Enlist Volunteers

“I _ _____, as an advocate in the cause of reaching students to reach the

nations, hereby accept the challenge

of befriending one international student this year.”
