As more and more international students come to study in Europe, we are challenged biblically to offer hospitality and to reach out to them with the gospel. IFES' work among international students is a strategic way to impact the world with the good news of Jesus Christ.
We long to see student-led witnessing communities reaching out to the far side of the world — in the room next door to them. And we long to see believers return to their home countries secure in their faith in Jesus and able to lead others to him.
Envision
Befriending international students to help them experience God's love.
Inspire
Building a lively network for support in reaching out to the world at our doorstep.
Equip
Sharing the gospel with cross-cultural awareness.
More than 1.8 million
international students study in Europe.
There is much more that can be done to introduce them to Jesus. Miriam put her trust in Jesus during her time as an international student in the UK — not long after she returned home, she found herself drawn to work among international students in Germany. She is not alone, and the opportunities for others to get involved are great.
