We want students of every background, language and culture, in every corner of every campus, to know Jesus as Lord.

Students are the best placed people to do evangelism in universities. They have the unique opportunity to engage with their peers, to listen with openness and sensitivity to the conversations of the academy, and to present a credible Christian perspective on key issues.

IFES seeks to equip students in effective witness: to encourage them to initiate spiritual conversations, to hold evangelistic Bible studies and mission events, and to live lives of grace that point others to Jesus.

We provide training, funding and materials to help strengthen national movement evangelism and to enable movements to share ideas and resources. We’ve awarded grants to innovative student evangelism projects. We’ve translated resources to enable evangelistic Bible studies. And in 2019, we hosted an evangelism conference to reach a generation of students across Europe.

Join us as we seek to equip today’s students to effectively witness to Jesus in their universities.

Global numbers of international students are soaring. Today, over five million students are studying away from their home country, many from nations like Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. IFES regions are increasingly focusing on this growing ministry opportunity, equipping the staff and students of their national movements to engage creatively and effectively with the nations on their doorstep.
