It is the desire of God that the nations come to repentance and believe in the work of Jesus Christ, God's son. Our mission is to be an extension of God's heart to tell the nations about Jesus Christ. Washington Heights is dedicated to reaching out to international college students to share with them who Jesus Christ is through the context of American culture.

The International Student Ministry seeks to effectively train others how to reach out to the international college student both spiritually and culturally. Opportunities include…

Friendship Family

The goal is o be a friend to an international student. There is no need to provide a place for the student to live., simply someone to become their "American family. " A friendship family contacts their student at least once a month and involves them in an occasional family activity.

Short-term Host Family

Would have an international guest in their home for a short period of time. These would not necessarily be students. Opportunities are available with business professionals from Bosnia through the University of Dayton and visiting students from Brazil and Japan through Wright State University.

Fellowship Family

Would be available to attend functions held at the church and visit with the students that come to the event. Several events will be planned each year at the church.. A great way to be introduced to the international student ministry.

(ESL) - English as a Second Language

Opportunities are available for those who would like to help the international student learn English. There are many students that want to learn conversational English. The Bible is used as a text to help them learn English.

Prayer Partners

Those families who are working with students would greatly appreciate having someone praying for them as they work with their student. The international student ministry is nothing with out prayer.
