Our Courses

The nations are here, now!

Have you noticed the increased diversity in your community, school, or place of work? Do you want to connect with those from other cultures, but you feel stuck on how to do it? Are you afraid of offending someone or making an awkward mistake?

We offer four cross-cultural ministry training courses so you can engage international students and immigrants with confidence. The first three courses focus on reaching international students and are divided based on your experience level. The focus of the fourth course is immigrants and refugees. Courses are built from our carefully crafted lessons on important topics that will equip you to be Christ's ambassador to the nations, no matter your ministry experience. Our content is for anyone who wants to be part of the Great Commission, you don’t need to be “in ministry” or have all the right answers. You just need a willing heart. We help you build genuine friendships, share the Gospel naturally, and even disciple those who come to Christ.

God has orchestrated world history to bring students, refugees, and immigrants from around the world directly to you. The nations are here, now! Join us in reaching them.

See How Others Have Experienced EveryInternational

"EveryInternational has been an incredible resource for our Apartment Life coordinators, who work with a diverse range of residents in our communities. The insights and training provided have given us a deeper understanding of different cultures, equipping us to reach out in ways that are both meaningful and compassionate. It's not just about learning, but truly loving our neighbors across all demographics—transforming communities with intentional acts of kindness and care"

Apartment Life National faith-based organization

"We are so grateful for the customized EveryInternational course our church has made available on our website. We have a Friendship Partners program which matches an American with an international student or spouse. At our recent orientation, the coordinator asked each American to access EI and learn as much as possible about their international partner's culture. I have worked with internationals for years, but recently I watched a session on welcoming internationals. It was encouraging to hear a wide variety of free activities to enjoy with new students to introduce them to America. I gained many new ideas. Thank you for EI! It is a valuable resource! "

Christ Community Church Ames, Iowa

"I've been working with Chinese for some 30 years in various capacities. These courses give great reasons to be involved with the nations God is sending to America and other countries where they can be much more easily reached with the gospel. The courses on cultural sensitivity are really good and help people get started on the right foot. The different worldview course is especially relevant for westerners to see different perspectives."

Rich Steiner Volunteer at China Outreach Ministries

"The EveryInternational videos are just what I had been looking for! They are clear, succinct, cover the subjects we want to address, and not specific to the Western context like most other ISM materials. I’ve written most of the videos into an ISM volunteer training curriculum that we hope to launch here in the Philippines later this year. Thank you!"

Betsy Eyestone Missionary in The Philippines

"Utilizing the customized course from EveryInternational has been a game changer for our ministry in equipping the local Church to reach international students. It's been such a help to know that we can send any of our friendship partners or ISM volunteers a link to our customized course, track their progress, and know that they've completed our recommended courses before they begin serving with our ministry. Rather than asking new volunteers to wait to receive in-person training at certain times throughout the year, they can complete this onboarding process at their own convenience 24/7! Plus, the selection of courses to choose from is outstanding! We're so thankful for our customized course through EveryInternational! It's a wonderful asset to our ministry!"

Katie Palani Director of Helping International Students (HIS), Manhattan, KS

"Do you want to feel confident engaging with international students? Are you afraid you might mistakenly offend someone because you don’t know about their culture? Then this series is perfect for you. My ministry involves working with international students and the EveryInternational website and videos have been a great tool to help me get equipped to interact with the students and the administration on campus. This is a fun and easy way to learn that sticks with you."

Nancy Parlette Field Staff with International Students, Inc

"I am very impressed with the very practical training that Everyinternational.com provides for reaching students. This is so helpful to develop and train volunteers to reach the nations here, now!"

Clay Fuqua Field staff with Bridges International

"After hearing all the stories and seeing all the different ways in which international students can be engaged it [EveryInternational] has definitely modified and enhanced my approach to doing ministry as well as just getting to know students from other countries a lot better than before. I will also say that it has encouraged me to really try to talk about the gospel on the terms of the individual or group upon which I might be speaking to."

Timothy Baba University of Nevada, Las Vegas Student

"The content is so good I would like to share the videos with as many of our volunteers as I can. I've been in international ministry for 40+ years and this is some of the best training I've seen."

Kim Sollie Volunteer Coordinator Hospitality Center for Chinese

"The number of international students has doubled in our area. Christians are wondering how to be the hands and feet of Jesus to foreigners among them. EveryInternational is exactly what we needed. Their training not only equips for effective ministry, but also sets the building blocks for the international students to be empowered as disciple makers. We are excited to share this with everyone in our community!"

Nicole Schlichter City Director, International Student Ministries Canada

"EveryInternational training has been very helpful because it addresses many topics that volunteers have asked at one time or another. For example, it has helped me and others to learn more about our Chinese, SA, and Muslim friends. Looking ahead, I believe these videos will further encourage new volunteers that desire to bless the internationals in our area. It will answer many questions they have and give them skills and knowledge needed to be effective ministers of the gospel of Christ."

Stephen Morris Assistant Director of Outreach at The Chapel

"With 4 full-time staff and 1200 international students involved in our ministry of "setting the table" for international students and volunteers to connect, we could not have done any of this without nearly 400 amazing volunteers. EveryInternational has played a huge part in getting our volunteers both excited and equipped to share the love of Jesus with international students. We've appreciated the flexibility of both encouraging volunteers to watch training videos on their own time and schedule, watching EveryInternational videos in-person with volunteers at training events, and making use of the print documents on the EveryInternational website. We are grateful to God for the work of Every International and how it has encouraged and prepared our volunteers to intentionally share life and the gospel with the nations here in the Twin Cities."

The Hospitality Center Local International Student Ministry

"These videos are extremely well produced and the presenters deliver their content with the confidence and clarity of a TED talk speaker -- but usually in less time. This is an incredibly valuable tool that will both inspire and instruct [ministry] staff and volunteers alike in the skills needed to reach internationals with the Gospel."

Chris Cunningham Field staff with Bridges International

"I love this teaching. Since last year I have learned so much about internationals. I got in love with inter-culture. For my whole life I have been involved with this, but I didn't know how to deal with people around me. But since I started to watch the videos it gave me clarity and understanding on how to do that."
