Fast facts:
-There are over 9,000 international students at Purdue, maybe only 20% being reached by a church or campus ministry, most of them from countries where it’s illegal to be a missionary.
-There are a few thousand more international faculty, spouses, and community college students in Greater Lafayette, IN.
-The 2,000 students from India are among the least reached, and we’re hoping to focus especially on befriending them.
-Our family is working to help the local ministry through: hospitality at our home; group Bible studies at our home; one-on-one Bible studies, evangelism, and discipleship; English help; building friendships and trust; helping with practical needs; and involving internationals in our lives as we live out our faith.
