Pat Durst became a follower of Jesus in February 1977 and not long after began praying for His love to be known, by all the people(s) of the world.  During a short-term trip to India, and while studying and working in California, Pat was confronted with the many and profound needs of whole people groups in which there were no followers of Jesus.  The next step was to teach English in China.

Once again in Cincinnati in the late ‘90s, Pat joined some friends to offer Bible discussion groups for Chinese students and scholars, and an English class for their spouses. This was one of several streams of international student ministry in the city that eventually flowed together to become IFI Cincinnati in 2004. God continues to give Pat opportunities to offer hospitality and friendship to students from a variety of nations, to share life with them, and to share the love of God with them.

Please pray for joy in the journey!
