IFES prayerline: Urbana
Dear friends This week’s prayerline comes to you direct from the last day of Urbana 09, InterVarsity’s 22nd missions conference, in St Louis, USA.

It was chilly again in St Louis today, as the Urbana ‘tribe’ went about their daily routine of bible study, teaching, worship, seminars and receptions.

christmas travels to rwanda
This Christmas I will be travelling to the East African republic of Rwanda to attend this IFES region’s first ever missions conference. I have been working with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) for nearly two years now, and I praise God for the enjoyment and satisfaction this job gives me. I work with …
