We prayed for her efforts to help more churches understand the strategic value of the ministry and support their work with finances, resources, mentoring, and pastoral care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Latavia says God gave her an idea: student ministry launched in the Cayman Islands in 2013, so why not do a <em>10th Anniversary Church Tour<\/em> around the islands to raise awareness and seek support? Since September, she has taken this tour to six major churches. She writes:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<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\">\n<p class=\"has-caribbean-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWe&#8217;ve had opportunities to give presentations to congregations, where students were able to share their testimonies and minister with songs.

Over 750 students have now been surveyed about anxiety and depression. In September, 17 volunteers from the national movement received mental health training from an NGO, equipping them to provide mental health support to their peers in collaboration with professionals. Many of the volunteers have had their own experience of mental health and the training was particularly restorative for those with disabilities \u2013 a group that often faces discrimination and rejection in society.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One volunteer was particularly impacted: it gave her a fighting confidence in her abilities as well as strategies to overcome the stigma. Nina sees the difference the project is making:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<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\">\n<p class=\"has-francophone-africa-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWhether it&#8217;s students from inside or outside the student movement, the training courses, workshops and focus groups are helping at all kinds of levels and proving to be a time of restoration.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In November, she facilitated a conference with GBU and leaders of the university Student Union, which allowed eye-opening testimonies from those suffering with mental health issues to be heard. This has provided the momentum needed to implement the next phase of her project \u2013 an experimental support system for students including free, professional counselling, Bible studies and follow-up from the trained volunteers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-list\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><div class=\"wp-block block-core-list-item\">\n<li>Praise God that Nina\u2019s work is changing perceptions in C\u00f4te D\u2019Ivoire.

Since then, eight students from two of the university\u2019s leading campuses have received training. Berenice can see how the confidence to lead such groups has grown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One highlight was on World Student Day, when the group was permitted to use the university auditorium for a time of prayer.
