Every Student Welcomes!

We want to see every Chi Alpha group informed about the internationals on their campus, and intentionally reaching out to them to show them the love of Christ, befriend them, and disciple them.

More than 75 percent of all international students in the U.S. never enter an American home during their stay.

There are over 700,000 international students studying in the United States. Many of them will never be invited into an American’s home, and will struggle with loneliness and the difficulties and challenges that come from living in another country. We have an amazing opportunity to welcome them and show them the love of Christ. Many
of them will go on to becoming future world leaders, and we have the opportunity to influence the nations by discipling these future leaders. It’s exciting to think that God has brought the nations to us. There are nations that we cannot go on expedition to, but now God has given us the opportunity to welcome them!

So you, too, must show love to foreigners, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.

–Deuteronomy 10:19
