We want students of every background, language and culture, in every corner of every campus, to know Jesus as Lord.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Students are the\nbest placed people to do evangelism in universities. They have the unique opportunity to engage with their peers, to listen\nwith openness and sensitivity to the conversations of the academy, and to\npresent a credible Christian perspective on key issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

We provide training, funding and materials to help strengthen national movement evangelism and to enable movements to share ideas and resources. We\u2019ve awarded grants to innovative student evangelism projects. We\u2019ve translated resources to enable evangelistic Bible studies. And in 2019, we hosted an evangelism conference to reach a generation of students across Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Join us as we seek\nto equip today\u2019s students to effectively witness to Jesus in their\nuniversities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The Uncover gospel resource is helping give students confidence to open the Bible with their non-Christian friends. Developed originally by UCCF in Great Britain, IFES has now facilitated translations into almost 30 different languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese and Hebrew. Representatives from 12 national movements have received specific training in how to use Uncover, including delegates from the movements in Indonesia, Gambia, Russia, Rwanda and Chile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
