International Friendships - Columbus, OH
International Moms Group (IMG)
The International Moms Group (IMG) is an outreach to international moms and their young children. It offers opportunities for the moms to have genuine friendships with American Christians. We assist the moms with their adjustment and caring for their families in a new culture. Moms are given the opportunity to learn more about the Bible through our Bible Study. We also provide English lessons that will help them as they care for their families and in their daily tasks as moms. Other activities are planned from time to time such as crafts, potlucks, and field trips.
IMG meets the first and third Monday morning of each month (this does vary based on holidays). We meet at the Old Buckeye Village Recreation Center located on Defiance Dr.
