Traveling to share and encourage the Vision

In C.S.Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" after the children arrived in Narnia they saw the snow melting, Father Christmas appear in the wood, and early spring flowers appear because Aslan was on the move. Like the children, as we go we are seeing signs everywhere that God is on the move.

Someone who really caught the vision we have at ISI funded a mailing to get this word out to the churches. In our north-east region we have already had about 50 churches respond where there is no staff. Our Regional Field Director asked us to visit these churches. So we have begun traveling from here in CT to Wash D.C., VA, MD, PA, NY, NJ, DE and other New England states. It is a blessing to meet brothers and sisters in Christ, see God drawing churches together to reach communities, encourage the weary. We get to share, pray, and plan together.


Pray for me that whenever I open my mouth the words will be given to me to be bold in making known the secret of the Good News. Eph 6:19 (The Jewish Bible)


Include prayer for us, too, that God may open a door for us to proclaim the message about the secret of the Messiah ... and that I may speak as I should, in a way that makes the message clear. Col 4: 3,4 (The Jewish Bible)


ISI exists to share Christ's love with international students and to equip them for effective service in cooperation with the local church and others.
