What a privilege and honor it is to be part of the ISMC team here in Niagara! I was born in Calgary, grew up in PEI but have lived here since 1999 and Niagara is my home with my husband and three boys. The scripture verse that guides and motivates my ministry is to love the foreigner living among us, loving them as ourselves (Leviticus 19:34).

Over the last 8 years, I have been connecting with and serving new Canadians, refugees and international students here in Niagara. Over the years, my love and passion for these beautiful people have grown and continues to grow stronger. 

Did you know that Niagara typically has 7000 International students every year? I think it is so exciting that the nations are at our doorstep. What a great opportunity to love and welcome the foreigner as the Bible instructs us to do. 

Our aim is to serve the practical, social and spiritual needs of Niagara International students and to create a community and family for them here in Canada. Our programs include English conversation circles, Discovery Bible studies, fellowship dinners, friendship partner ministry, furniture ministry, outdoor sports events and social gatherings.

Check out our video and our website for more information. We are also on Facebook and instagram @Niagarainternationalstudents.

I welcome you to prayerfully consider partnering with me. I would love for you to join me on this journey as a financial and prayer partner. Together we can make a difference!
