living, loving, giving: life to the full
The vibrancy of Latin America sits in sharp contrast to the poverty, immorality and instability which undermine its societies. An army of whole-life disciples is needed to transform those communities to fullness. IFES works with students to bring to life God's love and truth. Together we have a vision for a bright future, where all can experience fullness of life.
Students in Peru are giving hope to societies where inequalities abound: play areas instead of rubbish heaps, education and medical treatment in place of neglect, God's love in place of despair. The university in Lima is so impressed that students can now undertake placements with the movement's 'Vivir para Servir' ('Live to Serve') project as part of their degree.
"Fullness of life in Jesus Christ touches on every area of one's being: work, role in society, and relationship with creation. It's about evangelization, Christian service, life in community, integrated worship and lives that are shaped by the Word in the power of the Holy Spirit."
