Maddi lives in the Austin area and uses the relationships she builds to reach out to international students and provide them support while they are here at school.  80% of international students will never set foot in an American home and will miss out on the experiences that the relationships developed through those means will bring.  Maddi actually inspired me to get involved in a local international student ministry myself!

If you'd like to learn more about what Maddi does, how she supports students, and how that support and relationship building is a part of her ministry please check out ifipartners.org or you can email Maddi direction at m.phillips@ifiusa.org.
