“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. . .” -Revelation 7:9
Bridges International is Campus Crusade for Christ’s ministry to International students studying in the U.S. Last year at Ohio University, there were nearly 1000 International students enrolled. These students are from all over the world: China, India, Ghana, Indonesia, Turkey, Afghanistan, Japan, France and Germany, to name only a few. Bridges International exists to bring International students together in community, to build friendships, to help welcome them as they adjust to life in Ohio, and to share the message of the gospel. Within Bridges, students from different countries are given a place to come and learn about the Bible and to learn about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
If you are an International student interested in a Bible Study or learning more about Christianity, contact Leah Hitchens at leahhitchens@gmail.com.
If you are an American student with an interest in reaching the cultures of the world, you can partner with the Bridges ministry in several ways:
Serving: By providing international students with driving lessons, rides to Walmart, or by becoming an English Language partner.
Socializing: By providing social opportunities for International students to meet and make friends with other American students, by engaging in their culture, and sharing more of your own.
Becoming a Spiritual Resource: By providing International students with opportunities to learn from the Bible, hear and respond to the gospel, and develop a relationship with Christ.
