International Student Ministry
The Penn State University Park main campus has a dynamic international student presence, with approximately 3200 students from over 120 countries on campus in the last year. It's an incredible opportunity to reach the world for Christ, with the international leaders of tomorrow living and studying in our backyard!
In partnership with the Navigators' International Student Ministries, and in cooperation with the International Ministries at Penn State (IMPSU), we serve international students at Penn State. Using a variety of methods, we seek to share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ with international students, disciple them to maturity, and equip the believers to return to their home country to share the gospel with others. Marleen and I are involved in leading evangelistic Bible reading groups, discipleship groups, outreach events, and a variety of other activities that are designed to build relationships with internationals, help them with language skills, and provide opportunities for them to study the Bible.
Other Ministries
In addition to our ministry with international students, we serve Navigator staff in the area in a variety of ways, including encouraging and training them in the ministry of support raising.
