Have you wondered about what it could be like to be a staff worker in IFES? Or what IFES students are like? This trip is for IVCF staff who are curious about ministry in the IFES. Staff are encouraged to bring one key student. Trip will be led by Tatiana Alderson, Link Staff Coordinator for Eurasia and living in Ukraine. We will be going to two IFES movements, a Muslim-majority country and a Christian Orthodox country where Protestants make up less than 1%, where we will get to meet the staff, walk the campus, pray with students, join a Bible study and taste what living and serving overseas with an IFES movement can be like. We will travel to Azerbaijan first and then go to Georgia, where we will get to meet staff and students from all the IFES movements in Eurasia at a student leadership conference.

TO APPLY: email the Link GP Director Tatiana at tatiana.alderson@intervarsity.org and she will send you an application.
