A growing International Ministry is part of our local outreach. The campus of Colorado State University is filled every semester with students from all over the world. Many come with no knowledge of Jesus Christ or belief in God the Father. We meet these students at the beginning of every school year and offer to read the Bible with them. This is done by Christians going to their homes one day a week for an hour of study and conversation. It is an excellent opportunity for the students to practice conversational English. Since we use the Bible as our English text, it also opens the door for teaching and discussion of God's Word.
	Several activities are planned during the year to introduce our International friends to American holidays and traditions. Thanksgiving is a special time to share a feast of food and time of fellowship. We invite them to picnics and cookouts during the summer. Also, members often invite their students into their own homes. The International students in turn often invite us to their homes and local traditional celebrations.
