Are you looking for something to do over the long Christmas break? Why not come with International Friends to Washington DC on Dec 28-Jan 1! We will attend the Christian conference for international students called Vision 2011. This conference is for those who want to learn more about Jesus, make new friends, and sight-see the nation’s capital! You do not have to be a Christian to attend.
Come join other international students from UNC, the Triangle, and all over the USA for an unforgettable experience! We will travel together by bus to DC and spend 5 days together touring, singing, playing games, and attending sessions where we will hear from world-class teachers. General sessions will give you a chance to meet students from around the world and to explore the amazing person of Jesus. Seminar sessions will allow Christian students to learn practical aspects of following Jesus while non-Christians discuss evidence for his claims.
On New Year’s Eve, you’ll enjoy singing and dancing performances by your peers from many nations. And then you’ll welcome the new year with friends from all around the world!
