Our Work
IFES works in more than 170 countries to establish and support student-led indigenous Christian movements.
At the heart of everything we do is a desire to see students built into communities of disciples, transformed by the gospel and impacting the university, the church and society for the glory of Christ.
So what does that look like? Our work supports student ministry in the following ways:
-
Pioneering
IFES works alongside national movements in pioneering new student ministries in unreached campuses, cities and countries.
-
Evangelism
IFES provides training, funding and materials to help strengthen national movement evangelism.
-
Engaging the university
Through regional consultations, resources and mentoring, IFES empowers and equips national movements to help their students think biblically and live missionally in all areas of university life.
-
Developing leaders
IFES invests in student leaders and graduates all over the world, through student groups, national movements and regional events.
-
Strengthening national movements
IFES regional teams provide training, resources and support to enable national movements to flourish in their different contexts.
