The concept of people opening up their homes and inviting me in to enjoy delicious food, games, and discussions week after week with no strings attached sounded alien to me until I started coming to ISI meetups. I have had some amazing moments here and can safely say that this group is the closest thing to family I have in this country.

It was food that attracted me to the group in the beginning. Later it was the many new international and American friends I made in the group. Everyone was very friendly, open and welcoming. We practice English and talk about many topics like culture, politics, food, and religion; regardless of similarities and differences. I have also learned a lot about Jesus and God without any pressure. I am so thankful for the unlimited love, understanding, and friendship I experience with ISI.

I was surprised when I first came to the University of Cincinnati to find a group of people that immediately welcomed me. ISI became a great place to make new friends, to explore life's important questions, and to have fun together. I was not very confident then in what I believed about God. So I signed up to get involved in the ISI weekly group Bible discussions. I have learned so much. I am so happy I found such deep friendships here.
