ARE YOU WILLING TO BE A FRIENDSHIP FAMILY?
Neighbors International is partnering with Wellspring Church to provide much-needed friendship and care to our newly arriving 1600 GVSU international college students! As a Friendship Family/partner, you will be assigned a student(s) who lives close to you and shares similar interests. We are looking for families/individuals age 30 or older who are willing to meet with their student(s) at least once a month and talk with them at least once a week. You can have them to your home for dinner, take them to fun activities, or help them find warm winter clothing.
Please consider helping to ease the loneliness and culture shock that many of these students face as they arrive in a new country. Deadline to enroll is Sunday August 17.
