To extend life-changing hospitality and friendship to international students out of reverence to Jesus.

Who We Are

International students often struggle with culture shock, stress, and loneliness when leaving their homes to study in the US. International Friendships, Inc. (IFI) is a national organization partnering with local churches, universities, and volunteers to provide life-changing hospitality and friendship to international students out of reverence for Jesus. We work strategically to make the world feel at home and extend God’s love globally — right where we are. Some of the ways we serve students include airport pickup, temporary housing, conversational English partners, Bible discussion groups, and cultural celebrations.
