Praise God - 2009 International Friends Tour - Bert Kamphuis
We praise God for everyone who was involved in this event. Thanks for making it so successful. Here’s the original article:
Because of last year’s unforgettable journey, ISMC has again encouraged us to step out by faith and do our second International Friends Tour. The sole purpose of this tour is to see God’s kingdom advance in reaching more international students with the life changing Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The goals for this tour are as follows:
- To create a broader awareness of the needs and challenges of working with international students.
- To raise up more workers and financial supporters
- To train students in leadership
Several students from last year’s tour are planning to participate. Others who love Jesus can join. This team will be trained to share testimonies, do drama, music and present a powerpoint slide show all in an hour presentation. Our hope is to have a total of 10 students from various countries join the tour.
How you can help:
1. Pray - for God to put the right people together for the tour; for God to prepare our hearts and the hearts of the people who will attend; for unity on the team; for God to cause many to get involved in outreach to international students.
2. Participate - ask your local ISMC director for publicity materials; provide accommodations as the team needs to stay in homes for one or two nights; attend one of the rallies in your area and bring friends.
3. Provide - with a projected budget of $6,000, you can help meet the costs by sending your gift to ISMC in Three Hills, Alberta, designated for the International Friends Tour 2009.
