    Need 1:  Staffing for Part-time Youth Director for Outreach to International Teens
    There is a great need and opportunity to touch the lives of many international teenagers living with parents who are studying and working in Columbus.  This person would plan activities in order to build relationships with the teens and their families, planning retreats and other activities, and involving them in our weekly "Saturday Night Family Pizza and Bible Study" at the Wynn House.

    Total Project Cost: $8,000

    Requested: Any donation toward the effort will be gratefully accepted

    In-Kind Accepted

    Need 2:  International Youth Retreat
    A youth retreat for international teenagers here, including families studying at CSU and Ft. Benning.  We hosted 22 young people last year at Pine Edens for a weekend retreat.  Many of these participated in our other activities throughout the year and helped to build good relationships with their families.

    Total Project Cost:  $625

    Requested: Any donation toward the effort will be gratefully accepted

    Need 3:  Computer and Video Equipment
    IFM relies completely on the gifts of local churches, foundations, and individuals for our support.  This involves getting the message out effectively about the services we offer and the results of our work.  To do this more effectively, we need a laptop computer and movie camera capable of making short video clips to show when invited to speak.  These video clips will be shown at churches, fundraiser dinners and other events planned to get the message out about IFM.

    Total Project Cost:  $2,600

    Requested:  Any donation toward the effort will be gratefully accepted
