Home·About
A community for those far from home.
Founded in 2021 from a single conviction: no international student or professional should have to navigate isolation, anxiety, cultural adjustment, or immigration concerns alone.
Our founder
From pain to mandate.
Gertrude Onuoha founded ISPC on September 16, 2021. An immigration attorney by trade and a woman with more than thirty years of youth ministry behind her — spanning roles as Youth and Young Adult Director and Rocky Mountain Region Youth Director with Deeper Life Bible Church — she had seen, up close, what it costs a young person to land in a new country and feel unseen.
My pain became a gain for the glory of God.
The mandate she carries is rooted in Luke 4:18: a call to preach good news to those who arrive far from home, to bind up what isolation has broken, and to set a table where international students and professionals are not just welcomed — they are known. Today, ISPC walks with believers across the United States, Nigeria, and the United Kingdom.
Mission
To walk with every international student and professional — so that no one is alone in faith, life, or purpose.
Through small-group discipleship, prayer, evangelism, mentorship, and professional fellowship, we cover the journey from arrival to calling.
