Year-long mission lifts off for 2024

Members of an AFES uni Christian group

A national student mission in Australia is getting underway after more than 2,000 undergraduates attended a special conference in preparation.

The Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES) is the largest student campus ministry in Australia. At the end of 2023 over 2,000 students (across Australia and many parts of the world) were transformed by, trained in, and sent with the gospel of Jesus at the AFES National Training Event.

Phillip Jensen and Richard Chin, the leader of AFES, spoke on the theme of ‘The Christ we Proclaim’. The conference was given a sharper focus by the launch of their National Mission for 2024.
