IFI staff members work closely with volunteers from local churches to provide various services that address the social, cultural, and spiritual interests of international students. The objectives for engaging churches and volunteers are: 1) To train them in fulfilling Gods command to love the foreigners among us in practical ways (short-term); 2) to serve as a bridge between people interested in overseas ministry and their opportunity to reach the nations locally. 28310 34062 Student Trips - IFI organized 12 trips during the year for international students.
