To provide opportunities for fellowship, discipline, and ministry for Christian international students in Pittsburgh in cooperation with local churches and mission agencies;

To seek out, and act upon, opportunities to present the gospel to non-Christian international students. This shall be done in love, and with due sensitivity to their ethnic heritage and religious convictions, thus permitting them to make a free choice concerning a commitment to Jesus Christ; and

To encourage, and to provide opportunities for, local churches and mission agencies to participate in the program of P.R.I.S.M.


CURRENT PROGRAMS

Promote international Christian conferences, enable hosting opportunities in Christian homes, provide Bible studies and Christian movie programs, provide conversational English classes (including Bible study in easy English) for student spouses, provide free clothing and household goods, provide inter-cultural exchange in various formats, provide sightseeing opportunities linked with Christian hosting, enable speaking opportunities for international scholars.


HISTORY

In response to Jesus' commandment that discipline should be made among all ethnic groups ("nations"), in 1980 P.R.I.S.M. began to attempt to meet the needs of international students/scholars residing in the Pittsburgh area, thereby hoping to earn the right to proclaim the message of the gospel among them.
