December 26 — International Friendships, Inc.

You have probably heard about IFI at the church during conversations, announcements, Kingdom Prayer, the bulletin or the website. This update contains some links that may stir you to get involved in ways that you are not expecting.

Would you like to attend an IFI event to learn more about their activities? Please talk with Dave Beinetti or Paul Craig and we can help you connect and attend.

Have you considered inviting an IFI guest to your home for a meal? This could range from a regular evening meal to a meal during spring break (March 9-17, 2024, when the campus is nearly empty - sometimes a very lonely time for international students) or even for an Easter celebration with your family. Again, please check with Dave or Paul.

Would you like to read more stories about IFI students. Here is a link to a story about Dami, a PhD student from Nigeria (https://friends.ifipartners.org/?story=dami/?referrer=eoy23-email-dec13)? Would you consider taking an international student along on a trip? https://www.ifipartners.org/cross-cultural/traveling-with-internationals. Please contact Christine Maali Amiri atc.maaliamiri@ifiusa.org or Mason Pell (m.pell@ifiusa.org).

Please continue to pray for IFI

  • That Christine and Morgan will have greater impact on international students on the RIT campus

  • That more international students would attend IFI events and desire to follow Jesus

  • That the international students will find companionship during the semester break, including Christmas and New Years Day
