International Student Ministry
The mission of the International Student Ministry is to reach the International Students of Arkansas Tech University with the grace and love of God and the ‘Good News’ of the Gospel in culturally relevant ways. Each fall, the International Cell Group hosts a ‘Welcome to America’ party for all international students. Once a week the cell group holds a Bible study/English class where the students are introduced to the Bible and get help with their English. Once a month, the Heikkila’s host a cooking class/potluck where the students demonstrate recipes from their home countries. Also, there is a game night once a month. Both of these events are open to anyone who would like to attend. Other services have included transporting students to and from the airport, helping pregnant mothers get prenatal care, trips to the emergency room, and shopping trips. We also provide Bibles to the students in their own language and in English. It is rewarding to make friends with these students and to have the opportunity to share our faith in Jesus.
