In this issue: International Student Ministry in Boston

With over 65 postsecondary institutions and a student population of between 250,000-300,000, the Greater Boston area continues to attract people from around the world to its colleges and universities. In this issue of the Emmanuel Research Review, veteran campus minister Michael Dean provides us with a report outlining the opportunity and activity of ministry among international students in the metro-Boston area, its local contribution to the Quiet Revival, and considers the future global impact as international students return to their homelands.

Michael Dean is the Director of International Ministries for the Greater Boston Baptist Association. Both Michael and his wife, Michelle, grew up in home missions and have continued the legacy of their missionary families. They have two children, Lauren and Nathanael. Michael directs ministries among internationals in Greater Boston and Michelle serves along with him. Formerly managers of the International Fellowship House in Boston’s Back Bay, they continue to serve on the board of directors there while Michael serves on staff at GBBA and as a campus chaplain at MIT.

We first published this article in New England’s Book of Acts. We have added additional material and helpful resource links for further study in the area of international student ministries.

International Student Ministry in Boston

by Michael D. Dean, Director, Boston International Ministries, Greater Boston Baptist Association

Challenges Within Ministry to International Students

There are many challenges and barriers to the gospel being shared with the thousands of international students, scholars, and family members who come to New England. There are many languages, many cultures and various needs which require Kingdom partners working together to answer the call. Many questions must be answered for those we encounter: How do we engage international students? What is the most effective evangelism to reach them? Once they are seekers or come to Christ do we disciple them in their own language or in a Western context? Will those reached return to their home countries to share the good news with others or be pulled to stay in North America? Who are the most effective believers to reach out to international students?

One of the greatest needs is for more workers to be trained to come into this growing harvest field. Churches, church planters and college students must answer the call to reach those from around the world who temporarily make New England their home. For thousands of internationals, there is a very limited window of opportunity to touch their lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ. If we do not reach them while they are here, then at least one third of them will never again have the opportunity to come to know Jesus Christ. It will take everyone working together strategically to reach those here.

Strengths, Strategies & Collaboration

Throughout Boston and New England we have a rich tapestry of language and culture both inside and outside the church. Nearly every nation under heaven is represented across New England, and in Boston alone people come from over 140 nations. Thus, we have the potential to link internationals with believers in a wonderful way. Over the years, we have seen two basic strategies at work to touch internationals. First, we have linked these visitors with like language or cultural groups (i.e. invite Chinese students to a Chinese church). Second, we have leveraged the pull many internationals have toward American citizens or native New Englanders to create relationships and share Christ. Over many years of hosting internationals, we have realized that some desire to link with their own people groups, while others seek to engage and learn their host culture and English language. Thus, my Korean friend may be more attracted to meet other Koreans, but my Chinese friend may desire to develop a genuine relationship with me.

Several local ministries working with internationals successfully teach English to meet needs, build friendships, and share Christ. Others use host family or friendship partner programs to build lasting relationships with international students and spouses. Over the last five years, one of the success stories for international student ministries (ISM) is Boston’s Coalition for International Students (CIS), which has networked several of the local ministries together for more effective evangelism and ministry among internationals. We have linked together for programs, seminars, retreats, conferences, and training. We are excited to involve other evangelical believers into this network of ministries. Another point of strength in ISM is the passion and vitality it brings to the local church or ministry. Through ISM we get to touch the world as missionaries and experience missional living. Kingdom growth is achieved both when internationals follow Jesus and return home as the best missionaries to their people groups, and also as the local church is invigorated by the Holy Spirit’s leading to touch the world through ISM.

History

International Student Ministry (ISM) has long been active in the Boston area and around New England. God is the one who brings the nations here and raises up laborers to touch the world living among us. Any attempt to tell this story will leave out many ministries, student groups, individual laborers, and prayer warriors who have invested in the Kingdom. At the outset we must note some strategic church plants which have had a tremendous impact on ISM in Greater Boston. While we know internationals are being touched throughout New England, we will focus here on the work being done primarily in the Greater Boston area. The following time line begins after WWII when God led several different entities to work intentionally to reach international students in Boston.

Demographics

When we speak about internationals or international students, it is often difficult to get a handle on the total population for Greater Boston, Massachusetts, or New England. As the “Athens of America,” Greater Boston has always had some significant population of international students and scholars. However, over the last forty years there has been a great swell in the numbers of internationals. Even with a slight decrease after 9/11 when the government severely limited access to student visas, Boston continues to be a strategic center of learning for the whole world.

While academic institutions are charged with keeping track of total numbers and countries of origin, they are often slow to share this information locally, outside of the appropriate government channels. Still we know in recent years that Greater Boston and Massachusetts record some 37,000 international students and scholars and that New England has nearly 50,000 in total. However, this number of internationals may swell more depending on whether spouses of students, family members or those in intensive English programs are included. In addition to these typical undergraduate or graduate international students, there are also large numbers of international post docs, professionals, interns, medical researchers or scientists serving at any number of our area’s strategic centers of learning. So, one could include some of these special international scholars in the total population figures. At any rate, one can recognize that there are at least 50,000 international students, scholars and spouses who make New England their home on any given year. And, on a related note it is said that Greater Boston alone has approximately 250,000 undergraduate or graduate college students at about 80 colleges and universities. So, internationals make up nearly twenty percent of the population on many local campuses. And, another relatively unknown figure is how many international faculty or staff members are present at New England’s world renowned institutions of higher learning.

When the freshman class at just one local university comes from 109 countries, it is safe to say that international students as a whole come from over 140 nations around the globe. They come from all continents, all religions, and from many more people groups who speak even more languages. Over the years, while the leading country of origin shifts from time to time, for years the countries of Asia or East Asia continue to be the largest sending nations. The local and national percentages often are similar in terms of country of origin. Below are figures from a recent year for the top ten receiving institutions in Greater Boston (Chart A) and the leading countries of origin in Massachusetts (Chart B). The number records the total amount of international students and scholars (including those in intensive English programs).

Evangelism

There are many congregations and ministries both large and small across Greater Boston and New England which reach out to assist with international student ministry. Both English-speaking, predominantly white churches and non-English-language churches reaching one main people group have a great part to play in ISM. Another newer type of church, making its presence felt in ISM, is the multiethnic or multicultural congregation. For the mainly Caucasian congregation, it is sometimes a novelty to reach out to those from around the world, but internationals continue to seek to make “American” friends, whom they often assume come from European descent. However, for the language church (i.e. Haitian, Chinese or Brazilian, etc.) reaching out to students from their homeland is a natural part of being a missional congregation. Through the Coalition of International Students (CIS) network of ministries we are beginning to engage several different types of congregations and gather volunteers in ministry from a variety of cultural and ethno-linguistic groups. This only helps us have more effective evangelism with internationals among us.

A multicultural congregation or family of such congregations greatly enhances the work of international student ministry in Boston and New England. Historic Park Street Church in downtown Boston is perhaps the best-known place in Boston for international student ministries over these past forty years. Park Street Church has over 60 countries currently represented in the church. Grace Chapel in Lexington has long been involved in ISM as well in partnership with International Students, Incorporated (ISI) over the years, but in recent years has developed into a multicultural congregation as well with people representing over 50 different cultural heritages. Cambridgeport Baptist Church near Central Square in Cambridge is another multiethnic congregation between Harvard and MIT that has been involved in ISM for over ten years.

The most effective types of evangelism with international students and scholars has been relational or friendship evangelism. It is important to recognize it often takes more touches of the gospel before internationals come to faith in Christ. It is also important to realize that it is not our job or task to bring them to Christ, but to introduce them and let the Spirit draw them and teach them the truth. So, whether relationships develop within a conversational English class or a seeker Bible study, during a sightseeing trip or through a host family program, it is a mutual friendship that allows for the best opportunity for a genuine exchange of ideas and verbal witness.

Conversational English classes have been a great way to make the first connections with internationals. Churches and various ministries offer classes all over the city nearly every day of the week. Many classes focus strictly on English while other classes teach English with the Bible or some other Christian discussion group material. Others offer conversational English programs and then, prior to or following class, a simple Bible class is offered as well. Participants are free to decide how they want to participate. (See www.bostonbaptist.org/english or www.studentfriend.org.)

Host family programs or friendship partner programs are another wonderful strategy piece to reach out to international students. Several local churches and ministries participate in such programs to meet the needs of some of the thousands of internationals here in New England. Whether through an official program or being linked in a more natural way, international students desire to make American friends, and experience what it means to live in the United States. Friends of internationals or hosts in programs need not plan fancy events like they are entertaining diplomats. Instead, internationals are hoping to make genuine friendships and see how a typical American family lives. It is good to have some minimal practical training before participating in such programs, but it is not rocket science. Most believers are qualified to connect with internationals in this hosting capacity.

Seeker Bible study groups are certainly strategic whether they are organized for one particular people group or language group or for a mixed group from a variety of backgrounds. Whether in English or in a “heart language” these groups can be organized in countless ways and can look very different depending on what the participants need. InterVarsity has a national ISM network which has used I-GIGs or International Groups Investigating God. Local ministries offer many different small group Bible studies or seeker groups geared especially for international students. Korean or Chinese student groups or other student populations also reach out to touch their own people groups. Others have used the popular ALPHA course curriculum which uses a video to introduce the basic beliefs of Christianity first made popular in the United Kingdom.

International dinners and special events also provide wonderful opportunities to create friendship and growth of spiritual interest at the same time. Boston International Ministries sponsors monthly potluck dinners and special holiday dinners around Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter in order to make a link between American culture and introduce basic Christian beliefs. ISI has long had a Thanksgiving conference for internationals that hosts international students from outside of Boston, and the Coalition for International Students (CIS) now helps to host more international students attending local schools right here in Greater Boston.

In the last few years, CIS partners have created opportunities through seminars, workshops, retreats and conferences where internationals can learn about aspects of the Christian faith at their own speed. For instance, rather than have a confrontational or heavy evangelistic message by a speaker in a large group setting, they offer smaller workshops during retreats where internationals can choose which type of workshop to attend. In addition to workshops on spiritual issues or Christian history, there are workshops on friendship, American healthcare, marriage, interpersonal conflict, culture shock and other practical issues for international students.

Local churches offer various programs to help internationals come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Park Street has a Sunday International Fellowship which provides a meal and another worship setting for international families followed by an opportunity to break down the sermon or Scriptural text presented at the worship service. Grace Chapel’s ISM team hosts a special monthly outreach at the home of Roberto and Nora Laver. Cambridgeport Baptist Church offers a special basic English Bible study on Sunday mornings to introduce the good news to others from around the world. Language churches and monoethnic churches also provide a unique attraction for internationals coming from one people group or nationality. These churches provide a natural community for making internationals at home in their new land.

Church Planting

We are only now starting to uncover the strategic relationship between church planting and international student ministry. Few denominations and independent church groups have attempted to start churches with the expressed purpose of reaching out to international students and families. Instead, the most common practice is that a church or church plant located near a college campus becomes aware of the tremendous needs of internationals all around them and follows as the Spirit leads.

There have been many congregations that have started to touch a significant language group population. Over the last forty years, there have been several Chinese churches planted in the Greater Boston area, but none before an earlier Chinese church planted by several denomination groups in 1946. Since then, the Boston Chinese Evangelical Church (BCEC,) planted in 1961, and the Chinese Bible Church of Greater Boston (CBCGB), planted in 1969, continue to begin other churches around Massachusetts. However, reaching out to international students was not the only reason for these churches to be planted. Several churches including the Nazarene Church in Quincy and the Chinese Baptist Church of Greater Boston were started to reach out to the large Chinese immigrant population. Chinese International Baptist Church (CIBC) was started on the campus of Northeastern University in part to reach students, and after moving recently, the church plans to re-start in Cambridge. In recent years, another congregation, Emeth Chapel, begun by Dr. T.K. Chuang, has been instrumental in reaching out to international students and young Chinese professionals.

Another church planting story was the beginning of Berkland Baptist Church (BBC) in 1991, which started as a Korean church, but now reaches out to include an English-speaking service and a service for international students as well. In addition, BBC has formed a significant outreach on a variety of local campuses called Asian Baptist Student Koinonia (ABSK) to reach out to students, including predominantly Asian-American and international students.

One smaller congregation that has had an impact on Japanese international students and visitors has been the Boston Japanese Christian Church (BJCC) started in 1995 with Ken Milhous as pastor. In ten years, they recorded that 1000 people had come through their doors, with most of them being Japanese students who visit for a time during their relatively brief time in Greater Boston. So, while this Somerville church has remained relatively small, it continues to touch the world that comes through Boston. We trust that other similar stories can be told of other people groups.

One more church plant to mention is the Arabic Evangelical Baptist Church. This work involved several Kingdom partners. It began with a small group of students including Sinote Ibrahim in 1971. Joseph Sabounji, who led Park Street’s ministry to internationals was strategic in re-organizing this group and hosting them at PSC. Later they moved to West Roxbury becoming the Arabic Evangelical Baptist Church with Southern Baptist missionary Samy Ammari in 1972. This church continues to reach out to many different nationalities and point them to faith in Jesus Christ.

Other churches associated with the Greater Boston Baptist Association (GBBA) continue to be planted around Greater Boston, but they do not all reach out to touch international students as of yet. The First Brazilian Church of Boston in Charlestown started many years ago is located near Bunker Hill Community College. It recently started an English congregation to reach second generation Portuguese speakers and others, known as Celebration Baptist Church. In addition, Korean Church of the Shepherd is reaching out to Korean international students and families in Cambridge with a desire to build a bridge between other cultures as well. Another new strategy for touching students is the Collegiate Church Planting Community (CCPC) (www.ccpcboston.org). As churches plant new congregations, we want to encourage them to include an ISM piece in their strategy.

Intra-Group Activity

There are many avenues for international student ministry including campus-based, church-based, parachurch groups, denominational entities, or church planting. There are many different ministries across Greater Boston and New England which are meeting the needs of internationals and sharing Christ with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). Thus, at this point, we will refer you to the many entities working around the city.

For many years there have been multiple entities seeking to reach international students for Christ. Park Street Church has had a long history or reaching out to international students through their FOCUS ministries. Grace Chapel and ISI have also long been involved in ministry to internationals with ISI recently celebrating fifty years in Boston. ISI continues to develop regional church teams for ISM on the North and South Shores and in Metrowest. International Fellowship House, Boston, just celebrated 41 years as a residential non-denominational ministry with international students in Boston’s Back Bay. Southern Baptists have provided various ministries through GBBA and collegiate ministries for twenty-plus years, with a key model for ministry at MIT in Cambridge. Parachurch groups like Intervarsity and Campus Crusade have had international students involved in their ministries and are becoming more involved in creating intentional ministries on campuses and through the Coalition for International Students (CIS). Chi Alpha or the Assemblies of God also has linked with CIS and has recently begun a more intentional work at Boston University.

Several local language congregations continue to reach out to those from their culture or language backgrounds. Some have developed their own groups on various college campuses in addition to young adult programs through their churches. In addition to these larger entities there are others involved in ISM in the city including China Outreach Ministries, Hope Fellowship Church’s English ministry, Nanan and Chris Coughlin’s programs meeting at Ruggles Baptist Church, and many others. Ruth Sieck recently began a non-profit called VERAMI which offers a true friend to internationals along with the much needed immigration and career counseling for internationals (www.verami.org). Todd Ramsay has worked with InterFACE Ministries with Above and Beyond [www.abtrips.org] which provides sightseeing trips for international students from a wide array of campuses across the Northeast. Many other local churches and ministries provide language assistance, friendship and spiritual teaching to those who make New England their home for a temporary period of time. To God be the glory great things He has done. To God be the glory great things He is doing!

Inter-Group Activity

It is inspiring to consider what believers are doing across New England to touch the lives of international students, scholars and family members. Imagine all God is doing that we have not even learned about through countless individuals touching those around them with Christ’s love. Still, while it is exciting to have so many entities and individuals touching the world in Boston it is even more exciting to learn how God is bringing Kingdom partners together across Boston, New England and North America to more effectively reach internationals for Christ. One reason for the strong ministries in Greater Boston is the prayer partnership and relationships that developed over these last twenty years. In the 1980’s, while Joseph Sabounji served as the leader of Park Street’s FOCUS ministries with internationals, he also led other like-minded believers to gather together for regular times of prayer and support for the good of all those involved in ISM. While several different organizations have been involved in partnership for many years in Greater Boston we want to concentrate here on two networks which have made an impact on ISM across Greater Boston and New England.

Association of Christians Ministering among Internationals (ACMI) (www.acmi-net.net)

The Association of Christians Ministering among Internationals (ACMI) is a network of ministries and individuals reaching out to international students across North America. Several hundred ACMI members link together in this national network for training and referral of students. In the same way, local ministers and individuals around Boston came together three or four times a year to encourage and support each other in prayer. Local ACMI members and others hosted the 1991 national ACMI Conference at Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts. Through the local group of ACMI members and others coming together for prayer and fellowship,God began to grow relationships of trust and encourage various ministries to partner together.

Boston Coalition for International Students and Scholars (CIS) (www.studentfriend.org)

In 2002, after many years of relationships between various individuals doing ISM in Greater Boston, God led local ISI leaders to invite about twenty individuals from like-minded organizations and ministries to gather to build a strategy to touch internationals more effectively in Greater Boston. God used the trust gained from years of relationships with those doing ISM in Boston to help grow a new effort together. Over two days, these believers gathered in an upper room at Park Street Church and shared about the needs of internationals and challenges associated with ministry to them. Over the next three years, members of seven main organizations came together quarterly to grow a network of ministries which became known as the Boston Coalition for International Students and Scholars (CIS). Each partnering organization continues its own ministry with international students, but each one also chooses to partner together at various points for more effective ministry together.

In 2005, we saw the first fruit of our labors becoming a harvest. We hosted jointly sponsored events, equipped volunteers for ministry, and added to the various ongoing weekly ministries. Some highlights below from 2006 include some things that have never before happened on such a large scale:

• Holding our first ever international seeker retreat in February
• Hosting the largest ever national ACMI Conference in June with over 400 participants
• Leading our first coalition-wide international student fall retreat in October
• Leading two separate Thanksgiving Conferences in November preceded by eight training sessions across the city using our new training materials and training guidelines
• Touching nearly 2,000 internationals in Greater Boston.

The Boston Coalition for International Students and Scholars (CIS) is a coalition of recognized Christian campus organizations and churches that have worked with university students in the Greater Boston area for over 50 years. The members of our Executive Committee represent Chi Alpha, Grace Chapel in Lexington, Greater Boston Baptist Association (GBBA), International Students Inc. (ISI), InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF), Park Street Church FOCUS program in Boston, and Real Life Boston (Campus Crusade). ISI facilitates our local network in various ways, including by serving as chair of our executive committee. We are glad for others who follow Christ as Lord to join in this network for more effective ministry with internationals.

Diaspora Missions/Ministry

One key aspect of the strategic nature of international student ministry is the point that students will return home to be Christ’s ambassadors to their own culture and people groups. We are excited when we see the stories of the full cycle through evangelism, conversion, baptism, discipleship and multiplication. However, one challenge that relates to ISM is the sensitivity of telling stories and being cautious to not endanger returnees to more challenging places around the globe. Another challenge is learning about the seed planted which has grown to ripe fruit in the lives of returnees. Thus, whether or not we see internationals come to Christ and regardless of how we may or may not be able to share the most miraculous stories, we are confident God is at work to bring the nations to know the one true God and Jesus Christ whom he has sent. We are thrilled to be living missional lives: making eternal investments in others and growing God’s Kingdom.

Stories of those who have returned to their home countries to touch others:

• Before she came to the United States, she had a dream about a neighbor who had died. In the dream, she went to a beautiful place and saw the neighbor there. When she saw the neighbor, she was told to go back and tell people so they will know about this place. When she awoke, she wrote down the dream. She was a lawyer in East Asia, but when she came to Boston, she could not even work at all. However, she did have lots of free time to meet many believers God sent her way and she made a fast study of their lives. Many believers touched her life and led her to know Jesus as Savior and Lord. We baptized her at Easter and saw her return home where boldly she tells everyone, “the best thing about my year in the United States was that I came to know Jesus Christ.” Later, while in a Bible study with us, she remembered her dream from long ago and felt that she had actually encountered Jesus for the first time in that dream. As we touch the lives of others, we must remember that we are not the ones who first call after people. God takes the initiative and the Spirit draws people to himself. We simply meet people where they are and are privileged to partner with Christ Jesus as one of many links in a chain that brings them to faith.

We have found as believers get involved in the lives of internationals they find that they may be able to live lives right out of the pages of the New Testament. We are living the Book of Acts to this day. Indeed, we have the chance to help bring the good news of Jesus to a new people group or to those who have not yet heard. And, this can be done from our own living rooms, from right here in Greater Boston. And, while we do not often send international students on short term mission trips due to the limits of their student visas into this country, we are able to equip them for service to touch their colleagues while here. And, better yet, we can equip them to become the best missionaries to their friends and family as they return on mission around the world.

• He came to study language from a country in South America. He came to study at a school tied to Harvard because he thought it would help further his career back at home. He said later that while he thought he came to further his knowledge of English and better his professional career, he now knew that God had called him here to come to the full knowledge of Jesus Christ. So, when he returned, we were excited to connect him with local believers and missionaries in his country where he helped begin a new outreach to others who did not yet know Jesus the Christ. Daily, God brings many more like this young man to this area.

May God raise up other laborers and place them in the paths of these strategic internationals in our midst. May we be willing to make the long-term investments into their lives even if we do not see genuine seeking or immediate fruit ripe for harvest.

Opportunities

The opportunities are endless. There is a never ending stream of strategic visitors coming here, desiring our friendship, needing help with our language, desiring to know our ways, but still needing to know the Way, the Truth and the Life. May we be open and ready for the challenge to walk with them, to share not only the gospel with them but our very lives as well. May it be so. Amen!
