How old is Jesus?

Twylla — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:13:55 +0000

December 25 we celebrate Jesus’ birthday. By now, we’ve all heard the songs on the radio about Jesus being born in a barn in Bethlehem. Maybe, at one of the ISMC Christmas gatherings, you’ve even heard the story read from the Bible about shepherds and wise men visiting baby Jesus. … so now we know how Jesus was born. But, can you tell me how old He is? John chapter 1 (The Bible) gives a hint.

Gathering of the ISMC Family

Twylla — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 19:33:43 +0000

Saturday, July 9 - Side stepping the bright lights of the stage, I gazed up at the almost full Northwest Auditorium. I saw, not only our staff from across Canada, but also brothers and sisters from Vancouver who had come to celebrate international student ministry with us.

Students led us in prayerful songs to focus our hearts on Jesus, the One Who loved each one of us in the auditorium enough to give us hope for the future. Local pastors Bob Swann, Ross Johnston and our international plenery speaker Teri Crowell, through their testimonies and insight, inspired us to pass on this hope to the scholars and students from around the globe.

Now, we have returned home to enhance our ministries with this new information. May God add His blessing.

Partnering with Churches

Twylla — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 16:16:52 +0000

Almost 220,000 international students are studying in Canada. That’s 50,000 more than were studying in Canada in 2006. God has a plan for each student. ISMC staff have the expertise and churches have the capacity. Together, we can tell the world about Jesus… right here… in Canada.

July 8-12, 2011, ISMC is hosting a national conference on partnerships. How can ISMC equip your church to build effective relationships with international students?
