  • Campus Ministry Teams

    Campus Ministry Teams - IFI works to serve, teach, and mentor an increasing number of international students, scholars, and their families out of love for Jesus. Funds appropriated for Campus Ministry are used to facilitate these activities in order to see God's love extended globally in partnership with spiritually vibrant international students. During the year the campus ministry staff, in collaboration with volunteers and churches, organized social, cultural, and spiritual activities that served approximately 1700 international students and scholars on 36 university campuses in the U.S. IFI operations were significantly impacted by COVID-19 shutdowns, thus fewer students were served.

  • Services to International Students and Scholars

    Services to International Students and Scholars - IFI staff and volunteers conduct English Conversation Clubs and provide conversation partners to help international students and scholars and their spouses improve their English speaking and listening skills and help them navigate the complexities of American language and culture. IFI also provides internships for recently graduated, spiritually vibrant international students during their OPT year. IFI finds housing and/or employment for some of these student leaders involved in internships, and takes internationals to conferences about following Jesus to encourage their spiritual growth and develop deeper friendships. (Note, due to Covid-19 shutdowns, these activites were reduced and were carried out using online and virtual methods this fiscal year.)

  • Sudan School

    Sudan School - a former IFI Intern, who is now an IFI employee, serves refugees in Sudan who were displaced from the Nuba mountains due to continual aerial bombardment. The Nuba refugee children are denied access to government schools and medical care. IFI's employee built and began operating a school providing education for these children. The school facility continues to expand gradually, to accommodate more students. In this way funds designated to this service are used to practically show the love of Jesus to a marginalized people. This is one example of how IFI impacts the world through students, formerly served by IFI while in the US, who then return home with a vision to share the love of Jesus.
