1 IFES Daily Prayer Guide AUG SEP 2017

2 IFES is generations of students, staff and volunteers investing in the next generation. The legacy they left and continue to leave is new generations of Christian students enthused about making Christ s name known. With global student numbers forecast to expand significantly, your support is vital in reaching and discipling students, in pioneering, supporting and strengthening national movements. As you plan for the future, will you consider leaving a different kind of legacy to help future students? You can contact IFES at info@ ifesworld.org or at the address on the back of the Daily Prayer Guide to request a legacy pack. DEAR FRIENDS As you read this, thousands of new students around the world will be thinking about the upcoming start of the new academic year, or about a new semester in a new place. Some of them will be worried about whether they have made the right choice of course, about how they will cope away from home, or be able to be more independent while living at home. Concerns may include making new friends at university, and many will be facing challenges in how to pay for their studies. Please pray with us for them, and for IFES students and their groups as they plan and run their welcome events, seeking to reach out in love to those who know Christ and those who don t. Ask God to guide them to those who most need their message of hope and their friendship. Jill Bain IFES Supporter Relations
