As the new university term gets underway across the country, it’s wonderful to see our centres coming alive with events and opportunities to welcome international students into our Friends International communities!
And, of course, food has been a favourite part of the celebrations! From talks and shared meals to Freshers’ welcome events, Share and Eat gatherings, social get-togethers and so much more, it has been a joy to see students welcomed, friendships beginning and communities forming.
A huge thank you to all our staff, Reach volunteers, volunteers and affiliates who make these events possible. Your time, energy and hospitality are helping to create welcoming spaces where international students can connect, feel at home and begin building lasting friendships.
Please join us in praying for everyone who has attended these events, and for those who will join us in the weeks ahead. Pray that they will enjoy their time, connect with new friends, feel warmly welcomed and, when the time is right, be open to meaningful conversations about faith…
