Brett and Roberta LaShelle

Brett and Roberta have four beautiful adult girls, two sons-in-law and 10 beautiful grandchildren!

Brett and Roberta came to Bozeman in 1988 as Brett was hired as a Youth Pastor at Redeemer Church. After 30 great years working together in the Church, Brett felt called to make in a lateral move to work alongside International Students on the campus of Montana State University. Having been involved in missions and hosting students in their home for most of their married and professional life, it became more obvious that there was no more effective way to reach the world for Christ than to reach those God was bringing to our local campuses. These same students often return to their home countries with their US degrees to become leaders in their own culture and languages. Consequently, we believe there is no better time to reach them than while they are here, and no better way to reach their countries than through their own best and brightest who attend America’s universities.

In 2021 Roberta also felt the same call to join Brett on the campus. Since then, Brett and Roberta have been befriending international students together with a host of amazing volunteers and donor partners.

Brett and Roberta both love the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and people. Consequently, they find no greater joy than watching the two come together.

Thank you for joining them in changing the world by volunteering, praying, and giving financially to support the work of ISI through Brett and Roberta. We appreciate you!
