Students Reaching Students with the Gospel

developing support

by: IFES Global Communications
Across Francophone Africa, IFES-affiliated movements are investing in students, developing whole-life disciples, who are having impact in their societies for Christ. Yet raising support for IFES ministry is not always easy. Last year, staff in Francophone Africa worked to equip each movement to take control of its own fund development activities. Today only three movements out of the 20 in the region continue to receive grants from IFES, and these are Islamic countries where raising support for student ministry is next to impossible. Join us in giving thanks for the creation of a discussion forum which is used to share information, prayer topics and present employment opportunities. Promotion of self-employment amongst graduates is also taking place with a special project to encourage and equip graduates to create lasting job opportunities. The region has also launched Operation Action in Mali, Guinea, Togo, Congo and Burundi. This project is aimed at strengthening fund raising structures within movements and encouraging the appointment of full-time staff members in charge of fund development. Please pray that God would bless these initiatives and use them to build lasting relationships within Francophone Africa between movements and supporters, both individuals and churches.
