Aloha friends, and welcome to the first Anglican International Student Ministry (AISMN) blog! We hope that this additional means of contemporary communication will provide an enhanced and current sense of community of those involved or interested in sharing God's love and hospitality with international students.
AISMN exists to mobilize, connect and resource Anglicans to love, serve and learn from international students and scholars.
Mobilize: Let us encourage and equip Anglican churches and Anglicans to welcome, love, serve, and learn from international students!

Resource: In addition to what is on the AISMN Resource page, we'll share new resources related to serving and ministry among international students.
On April 30th a new missions book (Missionary Statesman, Strategist, and Servant) was released that has a chapter on ISM by AISMN Co-Leader Leiton Chinn.
