48 hours to pray together for students around the globe
World Student Day is an annual day that unites our global movement to celebrate all that God is doing through IFES, and to pray for one another, as well as for the needs and opportunities of the coming year.
This year on Friday 20 October, thousands of students and supporters from around the IFES fellowship will gather in prayer over 48 hours, to bring ourselves, our student groups, our universities, and our nations before God. We are asking him to renew.
Currently 5,309 people will be praying on this year’s World Student Day. Go here to add yourself or your prayer group to the map below.
OUR THEME: PERSEVERE
When Jesus commissioned his followers to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matt 28:19), he didn’t promise a journey without challenges. Today multiple obstacles can threaten to block the way for Christian student movements around the globe striving to help young people find freedom and purpose in Christ. Inadequate resourcing, isolation, apathy, opposition, and even persecution can make student witness a pilgrimage of perseverance.
World Assembly in August explored what it means to be resilient witnesses for Christ in the face of such challenges. On Friday, 20 October 2023, we’ll unite as a global fellowship to pray for the grace to persevere.
