The most strategic way to reach tomorrow’s world changers.

~ Leiton Chinn

The Worldwide International Student Ministry Network (WIN) is a Lausanne issue network that seeks to connect global ISM influencers and ideas, catalyse the ISM movement and support ISMs globally, as participants in God’s global mission.

Our vision is that EVERY international student and scholar from EVERY nation in EVERY nation will have the opportunity to encounter the Gospel and become a catalyst for the Gospel for every person, disciple-making churches for every people and place, Christ-like leaders for every church and sector, and Kingdom impact in every sphere of society.

We engage in ISM because international students and scholars represent both a current missional opportunity as well as the future leadership of the world. It is one of the greatest opportunities and strategies for global mission.

There are several reasons to engage in ISM. International students are:

  • Already in our countries and communities
  • Sufficiently conversant in our language
  • Often more responsive to the gospel and freer to consider it away from a restrictive society
  • Often from unreached people groups
  • Appreciative of hospitality and welcome relationships with host families or peer friendship
  • Potential transformative agents, nation builders, and returning witnesses
  • Informants to advance global mission
  • Gifts of God to the host country and national church

Stephen pastors a church and leads a campus ministry in Australia, and also serves as global catalyst with International Student Ministries Canada (ISMC). Previously, Stephen studied forestry at the University of British Columbia in Canada before spending two years doing campus ministry in Panama. Upon returning to Canada to pursue a master’s degree from the Association of Canadian Theological Schools, he began ministry among international students both through his local church and ISMC. Stephen is married to Rebecca and together they have three children.

      Francina de Pater is the national director of the international student ministry department of IFES Netherlands and the international student ministry coordinator for the regional team of IFES Europe. Francina graduated from the Agricultural University in Wageningen, where she met her husband Arie. While she was working in research and getting her PhD in medicine from the University of Amsterdam, she began to volunteer with a ministry reaching out to Spanish-speaking prostitutes. It was then she felt called to leave her academic career to pursue ministry full-time. Apart from her roles with IFES, she also has her own coaching and counselling practice, and enjoys being involved in her local church leading a ministry that reaches out to the many tourists that visit their church each year. She and her husband also helped plant an international church in Gouda, Netherlands, through which they have connected to many refugees and other internationals from around the world. Francina and Arie live in Gouda and have three children, Iris, Nathan, and Micha.
