Newsletter – April 2021: Together

Making a World of Difference Together!

"Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these…Jn. 14:12 NIV

Covid has changed many aspects of our ministry at IFI over the last year, yet with your help we have been able to serve students from over 100 countries.   See this map showing where the students were from:

IFI started in Columbus 42 years ago in 1979 on the OSU campus with 3 staff members.  Over the last 8 years, we have expanded to over 125 staff with locations on over 30 campuses in 10 states.  The Columbus team has expanded to around 35, with an additional 6 key volunteers leading ministry to Muslims, International Wives and Moms.  

With all these physical changes and growth, our mission remains the same:

On April 24, we will gather virtually for our 15th annual banquet and hear a ministry report.  We are sorry that COVID again prevents us from gathering in person for a banquet.  This year we are providing an interactive virtual table platform that is very easy to use and will give you the ability to interact with people at your table, as well as see the main presentation from the virtual stage!

This is our 15th banquet, and it provides about a third of our year's funding needed to continue reaching International students here in Columbus, so please join us for an inspiring ministry update and to join IFI's ministry financially!
