Let’s pray together for “immeasurably more” – World Student Day 2025 is on 16 October!
Each year, World Student Day unites thousands across the globe in 48 hours of prayer. Students, staff, and supporters join together to pray for students worldwide and celebrate all that God is doing through local IFES ministry in the world’s universities.

Join in World Student Day 2025 for Immeasurably More!
On this fiftieth anniversary of IFES global prayer days, we’ll be guided by the Apostle Paul’s perspective in Ephesians 3 (vs.20-21). Unite with students, staff, and supporters worldwide to celebrate how God has exceeded what we’ve “asked or imagined” and to seek “him who is able to do immeasurably more”.
Let’s enter into joyful thanksgiving for the multitude of students who’ve personally encountered Christ, for the thousands of universities impacted by student witness, for the many more countries that now have a thriving IFES movement. And let’s pray with expectant faith for countless more lives, campuses, and communities to be transformed through “God’s power at work within us”.
On Thursday 16 October, let’s impact the world.
Let’s come with grateful and hopeful hearts to the One who is able to do immeasurably more.
