Do you anticipate coming to NIU (Northern Illinois University) or the DeKalb, Illinois area? Are you already an International student at NIU or International resident in DeKalb County? We trust that you will find the services and connections and information that we supply here are of great benefit to you!

Network of Nations offers an intercultural community experience for those who are interested in connecting with the many internationals and American friends of this community organization. Network of Nations is a non-profit organization of many local Christian churches who recognize the value of cross-cultural exchange, and are open to sharing from resources that are available to help students and community internationals, like you, who may be far from home.

At times we will be able to provide for physical needs like furniture and warm clothing, but you are certain to find friendship in the many forums made available to you, like the weekly Intercultural Cafe, where you can get a warm bowl of soup and a smile from American and international friends who come out every Friday evening for food, friendship, and good conversation! You may want to be matched through the Friends Program with an American Family of the community with whom you can share a warm friendship!

We are looking forward to serving you, and also, getting to know you during your time at NIU and in DeKalb.

An American Friend,

Ruth
Ministry Director, Network of Nations
