Serving Students in Oakland
PRISM (Pittsburgh Regional International Student Ministry) is based in Oakland (at Bellefield Presbyterian Church on 5th Ave.) and welcomes international students at the Pittsburgh universities. The ministry exists to share the gospel in word and deed with international scholars thru relational activities, ESL classes, Bible study, friendship partners and holiday hosting. They also operate "Hospitality House", a residential facility that houses some of the students they serve. More information on this vital ministry can be found at www.prismpgh.org. CRPC has had a long-standing ministry relationship with PRISM, with several of our members in the past serving in staff or volunteer capacities.
Prayer Requests:
1. That PRISM staff and volunteers would have many gospel opportunities with international students as they engage them in their various activities.
2. That CRPC members and community groups would partner with PRISM in their efforts through being friendship partners, hosting internationals over holidays, helping with bible studies or dinners, and the like.
3. That international students that come to faith through PRISM would be able to connect with other believers as they return to their countries of origin.
