Ep. 49: What is One Language All International Students Understand

December 7, 2022

Did you know that there is 1 international student for every 60 Canadians in Canada? International students indeed speak different languages, but they all understand one language - the language of hospitality. In this episode, Jerin Thomas engages in a conversation with Erich & Ayumi Wong, who shares their experiences in Canada as international students. Ayumi shares how the hospitality from her host mom paved the way for her to experience Jesus.

There is no better season than Christmas to introduce Jesus to International Students. Let's make this Christmas extra special by celebrating with an international student.

On the other side, there are many ethical challenges and unknowns. Join Jerin Thomas, Nick Kadun and their guests Rev. Dr. Bryce Ashlin-Mayo (Dean of Theology, Ambrose University) and Jeremie Boulianne (Electronics & Robotics Hardware Designer, EZ-Robot, Inc.), for a discussion around possibilities and potential perils of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR).
