Community Outreach

Ministry to Internationals

 
He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 10:18-19
 
The greater DC area is blessed to have people from numerous people groups around the world living in it, including professionals, diplomats, immigrants, refugees and international students. Cherrydale provides the following specialized ministries to serve internationals.
International Friendship Partners
Be a friend to an international student this year! The Friendship Partner Program seeks to reach out to international students by matching interested students up with individuals, couples or families from Cherrydale. Friendship partners share a meal, hobbies, and share experiences during a one year commitment. Help these students gain an authentic understanding of our culture, while showing the love of Christ.
