On April 18th 2015, IFI hosted its 9th
Annual Banquet at The Ohio State Union Ballroom Hall. It is the
most marvelous activities of IFI throughout the whole year. There were up to
600 people attended this dinner. I am
one of the co table hosts for the dinner. Another ISEEDer Angelique and I
invited up to 11 guests. During this time, it is my great honor that my career
mentor Bonita and her husband Merle could joined our dinner, which gave them a
deeper insight of IFI ministry to them. Every attendant got to know what God has
done with IFI International Student Ministry (ISM) through this dinner.
An IFI outstanding international student leader, future ISEEDer, TT Zhang shared
her testimony, she shared about how IFI influenced on her on the way to the Kingdom
and why she choose to enroll in ISEED program after she graduate this May. It
was very encouraging. An Italian couple also shared their testimony after then.
They were born in a traditional Roman Catholic family in Italy and later came to know the Lord. And IFI gave them an opportunity to grow deeper in Christ.
On the first working day after dinner, I am one of the
financial team in charge of processing people’s donation. I was touched and
burst into tears by their generosity, no matter what amount they gave. Their
kindly donation benefits a great amount of international students, like me. Just
like the mission of IFI – “We serve internationals and partner with them to
make Christ known among the Nations.” If
