International Friendship Program
Did you know that 9,000 international students from 125 countries are studying at Purdue? This August, 2,000 new international students will arrive on the Purdue campus. For many, this will be their first time living in another culture, far from family and friends.
The International Friendship Program (IFP) is an opportunity for local residents to befriend and welcome international students to our community. The program matches community volunteers with international students. There are no legal, financial or housing obligations, only a willingness to reach out in friendship to an international student during the student’s first semester at Purdue.
Promiseland Chatter May 2014
Over the past two months I have been able to teach in a couple different class rooms in Promiseland. I normally am not teaching because of my other PL responsibilities on Sunday morning but, for unforeseen circumstances, I had the privilege of being with some of your children in the classroom. I can’t tell you what a joy it was to be in the Word with them and to see how seeds of Faith are growing in them. Although we in Kid’s ministry try our best to partner with you in their spiritual growth, it is you as parents who statistics show are the primary faith influencers in their lives. I give kudos to you for a job well done! Keep up the good work as you continue to build Godly character and a love for God in them.
