Staff Highlight: Tosan Otokuefer

We are blessed with an amazing staff team at IFI in Columbus! Each month we would like to shine the spotlight on one of the IFI team members so you can meet them up close and personal.

Tosan is one of the newest staff members and has served as the Event Coordinator since June 2020. Her job is to plan large scale events for staff and students by coordinating vendors and venues and helping to direct volunteers. Despite the fact we have been unable to hold big events this fall, she has already helped plan and execute seven (7) small social distanced and online events!

Before joining IFI, Tosan was an international student and earned her undergraduate degree in Nigeria and her master’s degree in France.   Then she worked as a researcher for the University of Florida until moving to Columbus where she served as a staff member at a local church, working in their food pantry and overseeing events.

Tosan heard about IFI when she first moved to Columbus. When she later applied for the Event Coordinator position, she felt that IFI had chosen her to be a part of their mission. She believes working in ministry is a chance to give yourself to God and give your best.

Tosan has seen the Lord move in many ways throughout her life. She asks for prayer that in everything she does, she would please the Lord and that IFI would be another avenue to bring Him glory. She also asks that IFI staff and volunteers would possess patience, grace and unity, and that they’d be able to demonstrate the love of Christ to students and everyone around them.
