Host Family to International Students
Did you know that there are more that a million foreign
international
students studying here in the United States. Yet Only ten percent of
then
ever get to visit the inside of an American home during the four years
that they are studying in the States. In Northern Virginia there is a
great
need for Host Families to "Be a Friend" to one or more of these
students.
One of the students is a young ladies from Korea. Jin Ah shares
her
thoughts and feeling about her country, Korea.
Jin-Ah is graduate of the The English Language Institute (ELI) at
George
Mason University which is a program of intensive English instruction
for
international students to improve their language skills. Jin-Ah has
mastered
our English language in what I consider a very short time. She has
completed
her studies at the English Language Institute at George Mason
University
as of December 15, 1997. She has been selected to work at ANVICOM
for
two months before returning to Korea. Anvicom is one of the
fastest
growing computer companies in the United States. Are you
interested
in hosting a foreign student? If you are please contact, your
church
Pastor or come to McLean Bible Church and see a real International
Ministry
