IFES national training day ‘Do it!’

IFES national training day ‘Do it!’ – this Saturday, Dec. 9

Are you about to return to your home country within due time? Then this day is highly recommended for YOU!

Main speaker is Rev. Niek Tramper who has many years of experience working with international students and academics in Delft. The theme of this day will be: “Think home – helping students to prepare to return to their home culture”.

Recently he did research on the re-entry of Chinese students after their study. Those lessons will help us to understand how we can help students prepare for returning home because they will definitely face some big challenges!

Former international student, now OMF missionary Anna Bin Yang will share her testimony and lessons learned. In the afternoon we will have workshops to help apply the knowledge to our own contexts. The day is free of charge, lunch is included. It is a great place to connect, learn from each other and encourage each other.

When and where?  December 9th from 10.30 till 17.00 h in Utrecht,  Singelkerk Wittevrouwensingel 28, 3581, GC Utrecht

Thanks from Tanzania

The church in Mbeya, Tanzania, sends heartfelt greetings and blessings to ICF-Delft. They give special thanks for the gifts they received this year! With them they were able to start a new education centre for the training of new pastors and evangelists. It was great to spend a theological training week with them, as they were so eager to learn and to spend their last shillings in following the teaching.
