March 5-7....Every year our regional Field Director, Natasha Hope
calls us together to encourage, support and challenge us. We invite potential staff, volunteers and people interested in international
student ministry to meet with veteran staff, fellowship, pray, and see if God is calling them into full time ministry.
It is amazing to think less than 10 years ago there were so few of us that we held this conference in our living room!
Our theme this year was "Strategically Investing in the Next Generation of World Leaders". Our speakers Bob Osborn and "Dr.Who" encouraged and inspired us and reminded us that students here now are the real leaders home tomorrow! "Dr.Who" is a muslim believer whose testimony and current life's work challenged us to boldness and sacrifice. He was literally grabbed by the arm here by a believer and found Jesus as his Savior. ISI's President Doug Shaw shared stories to encourage us to press on to the prize. We shared in small groups and prayed for oneanother and saw answers and healings! We took the path train into NewYork City and prayed all over the city for holiness, righteousness, international students salvation, and government leaders. It was a beautiful day in the city!
