Belfast Summer International Outreach (BSIO)

In Belfast during the summer there are thousands of postgraduates, but also hundreds of new students attending pre-sessional language programmes.  We currently have very little engagement with these students during the summer months and therefore excited about the possibilities to offer international students genuine friendship, English language practice and the chance to share about Jesus Christ in an international café context. Team members will also receive training on a whole range of cross-cultural issues, daily Bible study, and practical ministry experience.
