international: love for neighbour

A comprehensive call to action: providing food for hungry students...

Evangelism, discipleship and mission are the heartbeat of IFES ministry worldwide. What does it mean for students to make these a priority, to seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness? The gospel narratives make it clear that true disciples are known by their 'fruits', by their obedience to all the teaching of Jesus. This is a comprehensive call to action and a fully rounded approach to ministry. Belief is not separated from action, nor action from strengthening belief.

Around the world, students in IFES movements are living out the gospel in and for the university, thereby stretching people's understanding of the relevance of the Christian faith to real contexts of real people who, as yet, don't know Jesus. From the movement in Zimbabwe seeking to provide food for hungry students, to older graduates in the Middle East helping to mentor new graduates as they begin to make their way in the world of business, please pray for the IFES family as we seek to model love for God and love for neighbour in the university and in wider society.
