Welcome to the first issue of Conexi\u00f3n\u200a<\/em>\u2014\u200aa new, monthly, online magazine with articles, stories and interviews keeping you updated with everything happening across the IFES movement.<\/p>\n

But why launch Conexi\u00f3n<\/em>?<\/p>\n

With such a diverse organisation, linking so many people, in such a vast array of contexts, it makes sense to have a publication telling the story\u200a\u2014\u200aand stories\u200a\u2014\u200aof the organisation.<\/p>\n

We hope Conexi\u00f3n<\/em>\u200a\u2014\u200awhich replaces This month in IFES<\/em>\u200a\u2014\u200awill keep you updated and informed, excite you about the work and impact of IFES, and inspire you with stories of hope and change. We want it to be a publication for students, staff and supporters, and we look forward to your feedback and contributions.<\/p>\n

In this first edition, we talk to Kehinde Ojo<\/a>, Program Director of the IFES Indigenous Support Development program, and find out how this ministry is enabling national movements to recruit and support new staff.<\/p>\n

We also have an interview with Michael Wear<\/a>, learning how his passion for politics led him to a role working with President Obama in the White House, resourcing faith communities to serve those in need.<\/p>\n

This issue also asks how we are reaching the nations through our universities<\/a>, considers how Christian principles can give a good return on investment<\/a>, and we hear from IFES General Secretary, Daniel Bourdann\u00e9<\/a>, on his reflections on prayer and generosity.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
