IFES Prayerline
Prayerline delivers a weekly story coming straight from the grassroots of one of our 160 IFES movements. You may hear stories of the bravery of students facing persecution, innovative approaches to evangelism, or the impact of a small dormitory Bible study. At the end we will give you a few ways to pray for the students you met in the story. It is a great way to stay up to date on how you can pray for movements around the world. Prayerline is written by Bryn Rickards and produced by Maéva Frair, with many thanks to the hundreds of student movements who give us the inspiration and information to tell these stories. https://ifesworld.org/en/pray/
