IFC -International Friendship Connection The International Friendship Connection (IFC) is a fellowship of international and American friends who seek to serve and support international students.

We are from many different countries all over the world. We are a caring, supportive, and helpful community of friends. We help others experience love, hope, and meaning in their lives. The International Friendship Connection (IFC) is a fellowship of international and American friends who seek to serve and support international students, scholars and their families, sponsored by Cornerstone Churc

h of Ames. We are continually working hard to makes Ames feel like a “home away from home” for many who are so far away from their own families. Do you feel that Ames is not yet your new home? Come and join us! Are you looking for fun things to do? Are you seeking to learn about the real purpose of life through knowing God? Definitely come and join us! We have many ways for you to become involved in our IFC “family,” including weekly Family Groups, English Conversational Partner program, and special events throughout the year. We are looking forward to meeting you! Eric Warren
IFC Director
