The Equipping Conference
May 30, 2025


Whether you are taking the first steps in intentional ministry among internationals or have been serving for years, you will be further equipped and encouraged. You will be motivated and encouraged as you learn from others who serve among international students and scholars at universities across the U.S.

Ministry among international students is done by individuals, members of a campus ministry or congregation, and as a collaboration by people from several congregations. 

Also open to those ministering among immigrants!

  • Leading Bible studies for international students - Rev. Eric Andrae

  • Ministering among Hindus - Linda Patel
