Learn how to engage with international students
You are not alone!
Do you have questions about cross-cultural communication, building genuine relationships with international students, or reading the Bible with students that have never encountered the Gospel before? You are not alone!
Sobremesa offers you a variety of resources to help you better understand how to befriend the international students around you. You are invited into a community of people seeking to take the same steps towards others.
God’s World on Your Doorstep
God’s World on Your Doorstep is a practical booklet packed with advice on connecting cross-culturally with international students. From praying to planning to reaching out, this free download will give you a helpful foundation to get started.
For additional reading and resources, see here.
Share the Welcome Video
There’s one message we want to get across to international students with Sobremesa – WELCOME. You and your student group can join the movement by sharing our Welcome Video on your online platforms.
Create a culture of acceptance and hospitality right from the outset.
Share this video across all your social media channels to send a message of ‘welcome’ for international students near you.
