International Friendship Partners

Encourages the exchange of culture and friendship between individual Americans and Internationals.

The American friends have a desire to welcome you into their family and home and invite you to actively participate in their everyday activities.

As you spend time together the relationship moves from friendship to family and home away from home.

Social Activities

Throughout the school year and during the scheduled breaks (Winter, Spring, Fall, and Summer), we plan off-campus activities around the greater Kansas City area.

Additionally, there are scheduled day hikes, camping trips, or retreats with other students around the Midwest region.

ISF FAQ's

WHO IS ISF?

ISF is a Christian friendship/hospitality ministry in partnership with InterVarsity, promoting friendships between international students and residents of the United States. ISF helps students, scholars and their spouses adjust to and enjoy American life and receive a well-rounded picture of the United States and its people.

What Students May PARTICIPATE?

All international students, scholars or their spouses in the Kansas City North area, who desire to have a cross cultural experience with Americans and other Internationals are welcome to participate. Our programs and activities are open to international students of all nationalities and religions.

WHAT TYPE OF THINGS DO WE DO?

International Student Fellowships is a hospitality ministry, sharing the love of Jesus Christ through welcoming and providing assistance to students in need. We provide airport pickups, organize trips to grocery stores and banks & conduct outings to local attractions within the KC and surrounding areas. We also hold picnics and pool parties along with trips to nature parks, retreats, hikes, etc. We sponsor events where international students can meet trustworthy American people who want to help them get adjusted to living in America and have some fun in the process. Also we help interested students and family members learn about American culture and/or Christianity.

WHAT TYPE OF AMERICANS WILL YOU MEET?

You will meet people who want to open their homes and lives to international visitors. These men, women, and families believe that they have been given a unique opportunity to interact with students who may one day become world leaders. We consider it a privilege to have an opportunity to develop relationships which will impact the world through the exchange of ideas and understanding. In addition to the ministry partners and churches, Intervarsity has full time staff who are here to serve your personal, physical, spiritual and other needs as an international student.
