The Mission

Below is our primary mission letter with International Students Inc., which we joined in 2022. Did you know for 12 years before this we were with Cru in NJ? Check out why God asked us to make the change here: TRANSITION LETTER and VIDEO. You can also catch some vision by watching this ISI video below.

Let’s be spiritually frank: there has never been a better time to spread God’s gospel–– especially on American college campuses, where over 1 million international students come every year in hopes to advance their lives. About 60% of international students come from what’s known as the “10/40 window,” one of the most unreached, un-Christian parts of the world. 75% of international students never enter an American home and 80% never enter an American church.

This is an incredible opportunity for the church to hospitably care for this specific group while inviting them to meet Jesus and join us in the Kingdom!

After 12 years of working with Cru, we decided to make a jump to International Students Inc. in 2022, which would allow us to directly reach these students.

We are so excited for so many reasons: (1) weekly evangelism dinners with non-Christians, (2) relational lifestyle evangelism like helping them settle in the country or inviting them to our home, (3) fun multicultural experiences like trying new food or learning language phrases, (4) field trips for students all over the area, (5) potential for summer mission trips, (7) organizing volunteer opportunities for churches and even you as individuals, and (8) room to grow in different ways locally and in the national organization.

We just love International Students Inc. Just as with other nonprofits, ISI staff are responsible for raising all of their needed funding to cover a needs-based salary, healthcare, ministry expenses and an administrative fee. Our hope and prayer is that you would see the lost souls of these students as we do but also invest in the mission to win them over for Jesus. With your support, you will not simply be gas in our engine but an important team member on our journey, driving with us wherever we go.

Would you be in a position to join with us through a monthly investment of $1000, $500, $100 or some other amount?

Whatever you decide, we deeply appreciate you! Don’t hesitate to call or email to ask any questions. We also would love to be able to meet up.

Warmly,

Joey and Jenn
