Head Of Campus Ministry Sees U.S. Becoming Mission Field

TORONTO (AP) -- The president of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship U.S.A predicts that the United States will increasingly become a mission field for foreign evangelists. Alec Hill has been taking part in his ministry's conference in Toronto with 700 Christian students from 140 countries. He says the Gospel is taking root and spreading on campuses in Muslim countries where Christianity is illegal and in other non-Christian countries like Nepal. But Hill says American Christians don't have to go overseas to be involved in world missions. He says there are hundreds of thousands of foreign students on U.S. college campuses who'll someday be leaders in their own countries, students who can be reached today through ministries like InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.
