World Student Day
Friday 18 October 2024
Each year, World Student Day unites thousands across the globe in 48 hours of prayer. Students, staff, and supporters join together to pray for students worldwide and celebrate all that God is doing through local IFES ministry in the world’s universities.
World Student Day 2024 is on Friday 18 October
So far 9,829 people in 80 countries and territories will be praying this year.
Pray for Sanctuary
In a shaking, roaring world, we need times to be still – to stop the noise, pause for a moment, and find new trust in God as our refuge, strength, and ever-present help (Psalm 46). For this year’s World Student Day, we’re praying that students around the world can enter into that stillness.
The storms are many: physical conflict, divided societies, economic uncertainty, peer pressure, heavy academic loads. Let’s pray for students to find sanctuary in Christ so that God might be honoured among the nations, exalted in all the earth.
This 18 October, let’s be still and pray that students in all the earth know God.
