Study Abroad Reimagined: From "No" to "Go!"

Once seen as a bad decision for students in Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, study abroad was reimagined so that students could continue to grow in their faith even while away from their Christian community on their home campus. Joining the podcast today is Adri Fonteijn, the National Director of Study Abroad at Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. We talk about how Intervarsity now offers a unique way for students to stay connected, be discipled, and see God move in their lives while they are studying abroad.
