What is RUF-International Buzz?

RUF-International Buzz is a ministry that serves international scholars. We are supported and sponsored by Atlanta evangelical Christian churches. We are the international campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America. We welcome scholars from all nations, religions, and cultures to Atlanta and to Georgia Tech. That is why we are called “International Buzz.”

At the RUF-International website you can learn about our beliefs, philosophy, and distinctives.
