First Word: issue three

Welcome to issue three of IFES Conexión — the monthly online magazine that connects the IFES world.

What’s in store this month?

Find out about student ministry in Burkina Faso with Dieudonné Tindano (and some crocodiles). Plus we catch up with Loise Maina — a graduate from FOCUS Kenya — who has been working to empower women across Africa.

Last month Bret Staudt Willet from InterVarsity USA opened a conversation on the power of technology to change us and the world. This month Jessica Grant from ABUB Brazil challenges us to find time to switch off from the always-on world of the internet.

And finally, General Secretary Daniel Bourdanné shares the story of Dr Denis Mukwege and encourages us to reflect God’s character as we engage with the brokenness and injustice of the world around us.

As always, we’d love to hear what you’ve got to say.

Thank you,

Richard Woodall, IFES Content Manager
