Every student should have the opportunity
to hear about Jesus.
Thanks to you – with your faithful prayers and generous donations – more students around the world will now receive that opportunity. Thank you! Thank you for taking part in Global Giving Day: Into all the World.
Although Global Giving Day is over, it’s not too late to give. You can still participate in this act of global fellowship today:
As a global fellowship of students, staff, and supporters, we have raised 27,004 USD USD from 138 donors from 50 countries.
Praise God! Through your giving, new groups will be launched in countries, territories, subregions, campuses, and communities where a vibrant student witness does not yet exist.
Let’s keep seeking the Lord and giving what we can, so that we reach and exceed our 50,000 USD target.
You believe it. Your love for Jesus, your concern for the world, your commitment to Jesus’ call to “go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15) – all these mean that you believe it.
For over 75 years, IFES students, staff, and supporters have been striving to see a vibrant student-led witness to Christ in every university in the world. We’re delighted that there are now 164 national movements, with hundreds of student groups across the globe.
But your heart for spreading God’s good news says it can’t stop there.
There are countries, territories, subregions, and campuses where no student witness yet exists, where Christian students feel isolated and non-Christian students have never heard about Jesus.
