Johnson University Department of Intercultural Studies

Wonderful weekend at ICOM 2025 in Atlanta! This was one of our largest groups in years, and it was a joy to see so many Johnson students fully engaged. Thanks to generous donors who gave specifically to support student participation, each student only paid $10 to attend. Also significant that about half of our group experienced ICOM for the very first time.
Grateful for a memorable weekend of learning, worship, and inspiration to GO to the Nations!

Undergraduate Program Scholarships $10,000 guaranteed in Johnson Institutional Aid last dollar after your need-based aid is applied. Applies to Applied Linguistics, Intercultural Commerce, Intercultural Studies, Missions, Teaching English as a Second Language

We are in the countdown phase for Go Fest and we are excited to see what the Lord does in the hearts of high school students! If you are a high school student interested in missions or know someone who is, please share this event with them and see our previous post from last week for more details! Registration is FREE and is open until February 28th.

GoFest 2025 is coming soon!!

Are you a high school student or do you know a high school student who is interested in mission work and what that might look like in their lives? Maybe the Lord has given you a heart for the nations and you don't know where to start...

We would like to invite you to campus for an event that might help you as you consider missions, both at home and abroad. This special event is for highschoolers just like yourself! You will get to hear from special guest speakers as seen here, Andrew Jit (2024 ICOM President) and Ricky Altmiller (SICOM Director), who serve in the "missions world of things". You will also get to meet and chat with current JU missions professors and students.

Friday night, March 7th, is optional for attendees. There will be pizza, fun, and fellowship from 6:00-8:00pm followed by a worship service.
Saturday, March 8th is a full day of sessions, workshops, activities, etc and the day will wrap up around 3:00pm.

Registration is FREE and you can have housing with a current JU student in the dorms! For a full schedule of events and to register, please follow this link! - https://johnsonu.edu/gofest/

This time a week ago, you could have been wrapping up at work, making dinner, or a variety of other things. For those in this picture they were wrapping up and celebrating the completion of a whole degree from Johnson University's Department of Cross-Cultural Leadership!!

From left to right we have Professor Brent Brewer, Asher Jackson, Professor Kenny Woodhull, Max Bolser, Ellie Boles, Leah Jackson, Angela Dye, Dr. Gerald Mattingly, and Professor Travis Surrell.

They are going on to do internships, start new jobs, get married, and navigate this life that Christ has called them to live for his glory! We are so proud of these students, the people they have grown to be, and all they have accomplished in the past four years. We are cheering them on and can't wait to see what things the Lord does in their lives! If you know them, we hope you will join us in cheering them on as well! 🎓🎉

Chapel Offering at Johnson!

Each year the Johnson community supports a different recipient for our chapel offering and this year our Chapel Offering Recipient has been an organization called Tutapona that works in Uganda, Iraq, and Ukraine to provide biblical mental health programming and resources to the people in these countries affected by war. We invite you to join us as we wrap up this year of supporting them financially and continue to pray for them in the future! This ministry is so incredible, and we are honored to share about them with you!

You can learn more about their story on their website https://www.tutapona.com/

and you can donate here at this link! https://johnsonu.edu/chapeloffering/

All Intercultural Studies students are welcomed to our graduate celebration on Tuesday! Join us in the ICS office 11-2 for refreshments.
