International Friends has begun the 2024 Fall Semester!
Students gather on Wednesday nights to enjoy fellowship, practice English and join a conversation group - always with an invitation to study the Bible and hear the Gospel. First, they fuel up with a meal. Our students aren't picky - they eat all flavors and cuisines. About half our students are vegetarians, and many do not eat pork/ham/bacon. Each Wednesday, we need a vegetarian meal for 20 and a meat meal for 20.

Quotes from Church History
"We are neither the first nor the smartest to read the Bible."
-Dane Ortlund
"Do not put yourself at odds with the Word of God. For truly it will persist as surely as the Rhine follows its course. One can perhaps dam it up for awhile, but it is impossible to stop it."
-Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531)
