Reaching the world at our doorstep - this is the mission of the International Student Ministry (ISM) at CrossCulture. We have maintained a long tradition of being a spiritual home to many international students in Melbourne. Our mission is to reach the world for Christ by evangelizing, establishing, equipping and enlisting international students at our doorstep, nurturing them in their love and commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ.
If you are an overseas student or young adult working in Melbourne from an overseas background, we would like to invite you to join us so that we can love and support each other, thus developing our gifts in mutual ministry and working towards maturity in Christ.
Members of ISM, affectionately known as ISMers, meet on a weekly basis in some 16 small groups (cells) at various homes and church locations on Friday nights, as well as Saturday afternoons and evenings. There are also other exciting events, such as:
