3 DEAR FRIENDS Globally, World Student Day starts on 19 October with early morning prayer meetings in the South Pacific and ends more than 40 hours later with late night meetings on the west coast of North America. It is always exciting. Technology allows us to see in real time what is happening, which movements are sharing the very latest prayer requests on worldstudentday.org (the website even has a map so that you can see where people are praying). Social media lets us see which student groups are having online prayer meetings with groups in other countries and how groups have taken the theme and run with it, reaching out on campus, inviting non-christians to submit prayer requests, or handing out gifts. Please join with IFES students, staff and supporters all over the world on 19 October, your prayers are vital for student ministry! Jill Bain IFES Supporter Relations
