Did you know that International Student Ministries Canada currently has 66 staff members serving international students on campuses across Canada – and that number is growing!

Here’s a few of the new faces that have joined the team since the beginning of the year. Some work with international students directly, while others serve ISMC staff and volunteers as they in turn reach out to students. Many are involved in some combination of the two. All are having an eternal impact:

Peter & Diana Scholtens have taken on the role of City Directors in Hamilton, Ontario. Their heart for international students is so evident, and they’ve been a great encouragement to the Hamilton team.

 

 

 

 

 

Stella Jeon is an international student herself, and she’s using her skills in online content design to help reach out to other international students.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Katie Peterson Katie Peterson has taken on roles in grant-writing and fundraising to help us find the resources to achieve the big dreams we have as our ministry grows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eliana Navarro Eliana Navarro is currently raising support in Colombia, but she’ll be joining our ministry team in Sherbrooke, Quebec, bringing lots of experience in cross-cultural ministry.

 

 

 

 

 

So many of you already support the ministry of an ISMC staff member. Thank you! You are helping introduce students to the hope, truth and love of Jesus Christ. Your gifts are planting seeds that are bearing fruit across the nations!

If you’re looking for your local staff member to support—or if you want to encourage one of these new staff members—you can make a gift (or set up a monthly donation) at ismc.ca/donate

What about you? Have you ever considered joining staff at International Student Ministries Canada? That can look like a full-time position, or it can be tailored to fit your availability and stage of life.

ISMC recognizes that many people feel called while working in another profession, raising a family, or studying. ISMC values calling and character over full-time availability and we’re committed to being flexible and supportive of bi-vocational staff.

If you have a heart for international students and a willingness to serve, we’d love to talk with you. Reach out to a local staff member or contact hr@ismc.ca to begin the conversation. Let’s see what God has in store!

I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for each of you. Your faithful service, your heart for international students, and your commitment to the gospel are making a lasting impact—not only in Canada, but around the world.

May God Bless You,

Cam Janzen
ISMC President & CEO
