IFES’ work among international students is a strategic way to impact the world with the good news of Jesus Christ. Students come from all over the world to study in Europe - many from countries where they would normally never meet a Christian or hear about Jesus. We long to see student-led witnessing communities reaching out to the far side of the world. And we long to see believers return to their home countries secure in their faith in Jesus and able to lead others to him in places where no missionaries can go. We want to help each other to discover what the Bible teaches about internationals, to share knowledge about cultures, to learn to reach out to people from different cultural backgrounds and to experience international flavour! Global Impact is a conference held every 2 years for ISM workers and key students to help build International Student Ministry. Our goals are to:
ENVISION – for befriending international students to help them to experience God’s love;
INSPIRE – for building a lively network for support in reaching out to the world at our doorstep;
EQUIP – for sharing the gospel with cross-cultural awareness.
