Word Student Day

48 hours in ONE DAY?

Will you give ONE DAY to IFES on Friday 7 November?

Today there are some 500,000 students involved in IFES worldwide. Yet there are also millions of students who do not know Jesus. One day, we want to see a dynamic gospel witness to students in every university - from Tonga to Tunisia, from Suriname to Samoa.

ONE DAY is this year's IFES World Student Day on Friday 7 November – 48 hours from the start of the day in Tonga to the end of the day in Samoa.

This day of prayer is one of the ways in which we express our dependence on God and our community as an IFES family. After last year's event, Eurico from Mozambique wrote: 'It is so good to meet in the spiritual world of prayer'

On World Student Day 2007, thousands of students, staff and supporters prayed for the advancement of God's kingdom amongst students around the world. Commenting on the day, Ravi from India wrote: 'Two hundred people consisting of students, graduates and staff set apart time to pray for the ministry of IFES and students worldwide at our conference.' And Mario in Mexico reported: 'Students here are quite creative and have done lots to serve their friends.'

Will you join us in praying for students reaching students with the gospel right around the world?

Pulau Ubin Recce Update

Ladies and Gentlemen,

time for some update on the recce yo! There were three others along and guess what? The joyous news is - Paulina is now in the cyclers' club!! Wahaha... Ok, here are some observations and pointers:


1. Bring your CAMERA! (at least one within a group...the more the merrier)

2. Insect repellent is EXTREMELY VERY VITAL.

3. Mopiko aka 'Wu Bi Gao' is optional depending on your resistance to itch (fyi, Paulina didn't have any mosquito bites while Eugene Tan & myself, we blessed the little flying objects)

4. Covered shoes only. No slippers. (the terrain we're approaching ain't just flat roads, its challenging!)

5. Water is a must!! (as for me, 1.5 litres was consumed entirely throughout the whole recce)

The following are some photos for you to enjoy and look forward to on 1 October, where our adventure begins...

The journey of a cyclist...

See you there!

Be careful and considerate on Pulau Ubin If you stop, park your bicycle by the side of the road or trail to allow others to pass. Keep left when cycling - be careful on any paved road, vans ply the island! Give way to pedestrians; be hospitable even if they are in the wrong place! Speed injures, so cycle slowly. You may have heard stories of broken bones and teeth - well they were all going too fast! Do not bring your bicycles on to the Chek Jawa boardwalk - they are not allowed.
