Monthly Supper with a Canadian Family (This is not one of our IFG programs)
Families from a local church, Supper Club, are welcoming international students for supper once a month (about 4-6 students per family). The spaces are now full, if you would more information or put on a waiting list for next semester, please contact Tony Tira at tonytira@yegsupperclub.ca
Are you curious about the Bible?
Some students are curious about the Bible. If you are interested in attending a one hour Bible discussion at a time that works for you every week for four weeks, you can talk to James. It would be a no-pressure discussion for students who are new to the Bible.
Tea or Coffee
James and Ann love going out for tea or coffee with new students. You can reach James at jsiebert@ivcf.ca or 780-686-3332. Ann can be reached at asiebert@ivcf.ca or 780-686-9991.
