Take a look at our calendar & let us know if you plan on joining us.
We partner with churches in the city that are gracious enough to provide free food for students on campus.
We partner with American Christian families who host a monthly dinner where you can connect, enjoy free food & American hospitality with fun games to strengthen our friendships with one another & a time to learn about God & each other.
We study God's word every Friday on campus from 12:30-1:30 in a small group setting. All are welcome, if you have a heart to learn about God.
Part of creating memories & deepening friendships is taking a trip together. Here are some pics from our annual trips over the past few years.
We enjoy having you all every month for our free campus lunch. To keep this program going we need more church & community partners. If you are interested, reach out to Anna Adams.

"My name is Ayomiposi Falade, and I am an international student at the University of Memphis and a beneficiary of Global Friends Memphis.
When I arrived in Memphis for my first year, Global Friends went above and beyond by arranging for someone to pick me up from the airport and give me a warm welcome. They also played a crucial role in helping me settle into my new apartment by providing essential items such as a mattress, bicycle, microwave, oven, cutlery, and various kitchen utensils.
Global Friends has created a supportive community where I’ve been able to connect with both other international students and local students.
To me, Global Friends is more than just a group; it’s like a family away from home. Their events have been incredibly valuable, offering educational experiences and a chance to sample cuisine from different cultures. I especially appreciate the Bible study sessions offered by Global Friends. They have been instrumental in my spiritual growth, helping me get closer to God and providing opportunities to share His word with others. Global Friends is truly my family in Memphis, and I am deeply grateful for their support and companionship.”
