THE DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE
This year, your support for IFES on Global Giving Day will help students, graduates, and staff shine with radiant lives that point others to Jesus.
Jesus wants followers who point others to God through the radiant goodness of their lives – “let your light shine” (Matthew 5:16).
Many in this generation are dissatisfied with superficial, materialistic social media posts. They’re disillusioned by scandals among politicians, religious leaders, and celebrities. They’re drowning in a digital sea of information and misinformation.
They’re longing for real spirituality that’s authentically good.
Will you equip students, young graduates, and staff to follow Jesus in all things and to winsomely engage with all aspects of campus life?
All donations will ensure that IFES can continue to support them as they offer this brighter vision for life. That includes projects like advancing graduate work in Asia, equipping movements to address student and staff mental health needs in Latin America, and resourcing theological and practical training programs in Africa. As with prior years, we expect many initiatives across all regions will benefit from GGD funds.
And you can now double your impact!
Thanks to a generous collective of donors, every gift for Global Giving Day up to $100,000 will be matched.
Give now and turn $15 into $30 or $500 into $1,000!
However big or small, your donation will go twice as far.
Your light will shine twice as bright.
This year our goal is to raise a total of $250,000 from donors in 120 countries and territories to support projects across the fellowship that will equip radiant witnesses for Jesus on campuses worldwide. Will you stand with us?
