IFES is a community of students, staff and supporters, who share a common purpose – to glorify God by developing witnessing communities of students in every nation. At the moment we work in over 170 countries.  

​

We are an evangelical movement that gives special attention to the Bible - its preaching,teaching and study. We strive to help students recognize the lordship of Christ in every aspect of life and intellectual endeavors.

​

All national student movements of IFES seek to bear witness to Christ and to communicate in a manner that honors the specific culture and speaks to specific needs. We work closely with the Church in each country, where it is possible.

​

All national movements share three main focuses:

• Evangelism – proclaiming Jesus as Savior, Lord and God to students in every country in the world and to lead students to a personal faith in Christ.
   

• Discipleship - encouraging a life of dedication and spiritual growth for students who participate in our movements in order to prepare them to serve their families, churches and society.
   

• World mission – equipping students to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations of the world, to become communities of witnesses, and to be salt and light in their societies.
