Friends of Internationals
“A University Ministry”

Since 1998, Friends of Internationals has been providing USF students with non live-in friendship families, conversational classes, free airport transportation, free household items, retreats, events, Bible studies and help with everyday life. Tell us how we may help you!

We are a multicultural university ministry to international students and their international families and friends living on or near a college campus.  We provide students with non-live in friendship families, conversational classes, free airport transportation, free household items, retreats, events, Bible studies and help with everyday life. Tell us how we may help you.

We are a group of university Baptist ministries whose primary purpose is to assist international students and scholars throughout North America (U.S. & Canada).  Each of these ministries is totally or partially self-funded. Our desire is to serve you.

We believe that everyone is made in the image of God. Therefore, we serve international students and scholars by helping them in their adjustment to a new culture and in building good relationships with people. We want our international friends to be safe, enjoy their time here, and learn about our culture and beliefs. We do not discriminate against people because of their race, religion, or political beliefs. Please allow us to be your friends!

Our staff is primarily made up of volunteers and self-funded partners who are highly educated and experienced in helping internationals in their adjustment to our culture. They respect and enjoy meeting people of other cultures.
