The theme for World Assembly 2027 focuses on the faithfulness of God which endures from Biblical times down the ages until today (and forevermore).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We discover God\u2019s faithfulness as we share, hear and reflect on our own stories \u2013 both the collective stories of humanity and the personal stories of individuals. World Assembly 2027 gives us the opportunity to hear, reflect and celebrate God\u2019s faithfulness in various contexts, situations and amid many challenges that the people of God face daily. As the IFES family, we hope to listen to these stories and to learn from our successes and failures as we strive to be more faithful witnesses of our faithful God. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-acf-spacer\">\n<div id=\"spacer-block_727a1efb7ca54ad407221442faae83d0\" class=\"\">\n    <div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer spacer--md\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-cover alignfull\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull has-parallax\" style=\"min-height:241px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><div class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-12672 has-parallax\" style=\"background-position:50% 50%;background-image:url(https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Vision-and-Mission-IFES-World-Assembly-2019-09072019-\u00a9-IFES-Alexandra-Smart-2019_76-1024x683.jpg)\"><\/div><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block block-core-quote\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph wp-elements-c78958206e113f9cfa555b4eb95ceff2\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-sm-font-size wp-elements-c78958206e113f9cfa555b4eb95ceff2 wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I realised\u202fthat although we might have very different backgrounds and all sorts of different cultures, in the end, we\u2019re all here for the same thing: we all want to serve in the student ministry and help spread the gospel more.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-east-asia-color\">\u202fHannah, student from East Asia\u202fat World Assembly 2023<\/mark><\/p>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-group alignfull\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-white-dark-background-color has-background is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d05cb3ef wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block block-core-columns alignwide\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-white-dark-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" id=\"hosts\"><div class=\"wp-block block-pb-accordion-item\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h2 id=\"at-524948\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\"><strong>ABOUT OUR HOST<\/strong><\/h2><div id=\"ac-524948\" class=\"c-accordion__content\"><div class=\"wp-block block-acf-spacer\">\n<div id=\"spacer-block_727a1efb7ca54ad407221442faae83d0\" class=\"\">\n    <div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer spacer--md\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-media-text alignwide\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile has-white-dark-background-color has-background\" style=\"grid-template-columns:23% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Stacked-Logo-Gradient.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52647 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Stacked-Logo-Gradient.webp 500w, https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Stacked-Logo-Gradient-221x300.webp 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><div class=\"wp-block block-core-heading wp-elements-8918345e18c0a77802007bd44cea9f8a\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-world-student-day-color has-text-color has-link-color has-md-font-size wp-elements-8918345e18c0a77802007bd44cea9f8a\"><strong>Christian Unions Ireland (CUI), Ireland<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-separator is-style-wide\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The host movement for World Assembly 2027 is <a href=\"https:\/\/cui.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christian Unions Ireland (CUI).<\/a> CUI incorporates two nations &#8211; the Republic of Ireland (ROI) and Northern Ireland (NI), which is part of the United Kingdom (UK).
