Why join our team?
Many of the international students that arrive at university campuses have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and would never be in the position to consider Christ in their home country. We have an opportunity to reach around the world by engaging students while they are in Tulsa, Tahlequah, and Prague, Czech Republic. These international students are the future leaders and business men and women of their respective countries, and will return home to influence their generation. We have been serving international students through the love of Jesus for the past 30 years, and our passion to reach more students has never been stronger. Over five million international students are currently studying at universities around the world, and just within Oklahoma and Prague, we have over 58,000 international students that God has put within our reach and the reach of the body of Christ in these locations. If God calls you to reach international students, you can be a part of a team that is reaching international students and equipping the church on campuses and in communities to join in God's rescue mission for the nations at their doorstep.
