Tim and Lyn Newbrander

Tim and Lyn joined ISI in 2012 to begin reaching out to the over 16,000 international students and scholars in the City of Brotherly Love. Lord willing, they will move to Philadelphia in January 2013, locating within walking distance of University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and the University of the Sciences.

Tim and Lyn are excited about this new venture, particularly in assisting churches in Philadelphia to reach the world in our own back yard. Not only does this new work capitalize on many years of experience abroad, it will also build on years of hosting international students. Tim is excited about the opportunity to assist other believers in similarly serving international students and scholars one student at a time, forming lifelong friendships for the sake of Jesus, who longs for us to welcome the strangers and foreigners in our midst. Lyn looks forward to investing in mentoring relationships with young women in addition to the broader ministry of ESL help, hospitality, and Bible Studies. Tim and Lyns home has been named The House for all Nations.
