Welcome to issue three of IFES Conexi\u00f3n\u200a\u2014\u200athe monthly online magazine that connects the IFES\u00a0world.<\/h4>\n

What\u2019s in store this\u00a0month?<\/h4>\n

Find out about student ministry in Burkina Faso with Dieudonn\u00e9 Tindano <\/strong><\/a>(and some crocodiles). Plus we catch up with Loise Maina<\/strong><\/a>\u200a<\/strong>\u2014\u200aa graduate from FOCUS Kenya\u200a\u2014\u200awho has been working to empower women across Africa.<\/p>\n

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

And finally, General Secretary Daniel Bourdann\u00e9 <\/strong><\/a>shares the story of Dr Denis Mukwege <\/strong>and encourages us to reflect God\u2019s character as we engage with the brokenness and injustice of the world around us.<\/p>\n

As always, we\u2019d love to hear what you\u2019ve got to say.<\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n
