IFES World Student Day!
2025-10-16 10:00 - 18:00 UTC
World Student Day is an annual global day of prayer organized by the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES). On this special day, Christian students, graduates, and staff from over 180 countries unite in prayer for one another, for their universities, and for God’s mission in the student world.

For SLEFES, World Student Day is a time to join our global IFES family in thanksgiving and intercession. We celebrate what God is doing through students across Sierra Leone and beyond, and we pray for revival, unity, and bold witness on every campus.

As part of this year’s observance, SLEFES prayer clusters will be meeting across the nation at the following times:

Freetown: 11:30 a.m.

Makeni, Kenema, Bo, and Mokonde: 10:00 a.m.

Kono: 5:00 p.m.

Each year’s World Student Day focuses on a specific theme and highlights stories of faith from different parts of the world. Whether gathered online or in person, we stand together as one global movement declaring Jesus Christ as Lord of the campus and Lord of the nations.

SLEFES ENTREPRENEURSHIP BOOT-CAMP SEB 2026
2026-04-15 00:00 - 2026-04-18 23:59
The SLEFES Entrepreneurship Boot-camp (SEB 2026) is a training program and a strategic intervention at a critical national pressure point, the graduate transition crisis.Across Sierra Leone and Sub-Saharan Africa, thousands graduate every year into an economy that cannot absorb them. Degrees are earned. Vision is high. But structure is missing. Many begin businesses informally, passionately, yet without governance, legal clarity, or financial discipline. Within three years, most collapse.SLEFES refuses to watch this pattern continue.In partnership with Viridis Edge Consulting, SEB 2026 is designed to intentionally produce 25 disciplined, ethical, investment-ready entrepreneurs who will not merely start businesses, but build sustainable enterprises that carry the fragrance of Christ into the marketplace.

WHY THIS MATTERS TO SLEFESSLEFES disciples students spiritually. But true discipleship must also address economic dignity. If the Gospel shapes: Character Integrity Stewardship GovernanceThen it must also shape: Capital management Enterprise structure Wealth ethics Marketplace influenceSEB is the bridge between:Final Year → Graduation → Structured Enterprise → Economic Independence → Gospel InfluenceWe are believing God that from this cohort of 25: At least 15 will formalize their businesses within 12 months At least 10 will become bank-ready within 18 months At least 5 will become employers within 3 yearsThis is economic evangelism in action.
