The purpose of this seminar will be to help older, experienced, disciples become engaged and fruitful in a new mission field that is right in our back yard – international students.

1. You are so ready and needed.a. You know how to lovingly and purposefully parent/grandparent their age groupb. You know how to walk with God, overcome obstacles, and be transformedc. You have more free time to invest than most others in the churchd. There are thousands of international students who need you

2. Getting started.a. Be the initiator -- meet and pursue students (there are so many ways)b. Be the lover -- meet pressing needs and form relationshipsc. Become all things to all men - learn to communicate and love cross-culturallyd. Make the most of it -- introduce them to life in Christ’s family and invite them into it

3. Getting better.a. Be a homemaker -- build a community (no matter how small at first)b. Be the parent/grandparent -- treat them as sons/daughters/grandchildrenc. Go with them into their circles (oikos) to reach out to the people they knowd. Make disciples - teach them the word and show them how to live it (side by side)

Sincerely,

Craig McClanahan
