You are invited to MOSAIC, a 4-day conference for International Students from Monday, May 12 to Friday, May 16! We'll meet with other students from universities in the Eastern region of the United States at a conference center in the beautiful hills of Virginia.
What will happen at the conference? We will have fun games, small group discussions, a variety show, an inspirational speaker, musical worship, quality seminars (such as “Survey of the Bible” & “Cross-cultural Relationships”), and lots of time to build friendships. On Wednesday you can choose to go canoeing or travel to D.C. to visit the monuments and have a picnic at the National Mall.
Tell me about the speaker: We are truly privileged to have Saleim Kahleh as our speaker. Saleim has devoted the last 20 years of his life serving college students, and he currently serves as the Associate Director of Recreation at a university in Houston. Having grown up in loving Muslim home, he attended college and began a quest to find the truth about God and religion. Saleim has traveled all over the world sharing his story. We will enjoy his engaging and inspirational speaking in the evenings.
Do I need to be a Christian? No. Whatever your religious background, you are welcome to join us to simply observe Christian worship and teaching, and enjoy all of the many fun activities. Every year, many students attend who are not from a Christian worldview
