Friendship International
"Look at the nations and watch and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." Habakkuk 1:5
A program for international women and their children!
The purpose of Friendship International is to meet the needs of international families in an experience of Christian love. This
is a great opportunity for women to reach out and minister to women
from around the world with Christ's love. We have women from 20 - 25
different countries, many of whom have never heard the gospel of
Christ. We meet on Thursday mornings during the Edmond school year
from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM.
Although the meetings are held at Highland Park Baptist Church during
the school year, observing Edmond school calendar for days off, the
majority of the volunteer teachers and workers are from Edmond's First
Baptist Church. Our church does support the ministry financially.
