How does international student ministry benefit the church?
International Friendship Ministries’ ministry strategy is to help and work with local churches to reach out to internationals. Through partnership with local churches, IFM draws the church out to serve the world that has come to our doorstep. IFM’s modus operandi has always been to do ministry among internationals through the local churches and not to operate apart from the church.
The following are some of the benefits:
- The church’s missions vision is enlarged
- Opportunity for each member to be a cross-cultural missionary
- Increase in missions involvement
- Members will have a “world Christian” perspective
- The Church has a global impact
- The Church begins to look a little bit like heaven
