International Friends Retreat

International Friends Retreat is designed to help international students attending college in Alabama make American friends and adjust to life in the United States. There are thousands of international students in Alabama, many of whom will never step foot inside an American home or have a meaningful conversation with a follower of Christ. The International Friends Retreat is a strategic bridge. It is a weekend designed for BCM students and leaders to practice intentional hospitality, breaking down cultural barriers through shared fun, honest conversation, and the gospel of peace.
