Clemson University RUF International
Contact
Being in an unfamiliar place presents a lot of challenges. Internationals students experience so many of these challenges while being far away from their families, learning a new language, and searching for a new community to build relationships and enjoy life. The opportunity to work and serve the international community in Clemson is an opportunity to be part of something infinitely larger than what we can see with our eyes. God has promised throughout scripture that He will gather people from the nations to be part of His eternal family. Through the words and deeds of volunteers who serve in this ministry the opportunity exists to be part of God's great redemptive plan. If you are an international student looking for a community where you are free to struggle with all the challenges of being in an unfamiliar place or if you have any interest in being part of this strategic ministry of love and hospitality I would love to visit with you. Please email me and we can figure out the best way to connect.

Anna Ayers
Anna grew up in Bryan, Texas, and graduated from King University in Bristol, TN with a Major in English with a writing track and a minor in Spanish. In her free time, she loves staying active and outdoors and spending time with her friends.
Although she was not involved with RUF in college, Anna had the privilege of attending SuCo the summer after she graduated with Texas A&M's RUF-International crew. She was quickly convinced that this was where God was calling her to. God put a love for the nations on her heart at a young age and she is thrilled to be a part of welcoming and befriending international students from all over the world at Clemson. Go Tigers!
