International Students Inc. (SF Bay Area)

Following the command of God as far back as the early tribes of Israel and the invitation of Jesus in Matthew 25, International Students Inc is uniquely positioned to welcome the stranger. Students from all parts of the world have come to explore their dreams and step into their futures in the US, most without the benefit of family to support them. That’s where ISI comes in – by becoming American uncles and aunties, big brothers and sisters, we become their family in the United States. We help them form bonds of relationship and fun and network, as we support and empower them in their goals. Along the way we share ourselves and the power and goodness of Christ in our lives, leading many to come to Faith and become Christ-followers who serve and mentor others in their Faith journeys.
