CGK Mission supports the international student work of IFES Netherlands: IFES-Host. There are some 100,000 foreign students in the Netherlands. During their studies, they find themselves in a completely different context. Once away from home, many students for the first time start thinking for themselves about the worldview they grew up with. This gives room to engage with them.
IFES-Host invites students to participate in a Bible study for those seeking meaning, or in an equipping Bible study for students who are already Christians. In addition, IFES-Host offers guidance to students who have become Christians in the Netherlands and are returning to their home countries where there is Christian persecution or where Christians are viewed strangely. IFES-Host keeps in touch and trains these students during this transition period.
In doing so, we support their projects in Rotterdam, Eindhoven, The Hague, Leiden, Utrecht and a number of national projects.
