NIFES at a Glance
The Nigeria Fellowship of Evangelical Students (NIFES) is an indigenous, non-governmental and interdenominational organization of evangelical Christian students in Nigeria tertiary institutions. We reach out to students through small group Bible Studies, Evangelism, Prayers meetings, Large Group Meetings, Biblical Discipleship, Life-changing Leadership Training and Conference. In them is the great reservoir that contains the answers to this world’s unanswered questions and solutions to the world’s problems. In every student that steps into the campus is a potential to be great and useful to God’s kingdom and humanity. They are arrows that could be targeted to nab all the challenges of our day and make it the kingdom of our God. Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, shape a student and you would have shaped the future..

My multitasking skill started in NIFES when I had to combine two offices at the group level and one office at the sub-zonal level, along with my academics. At first, I thought I couldn't do it, but to my greatest surprise, I did it with God's help. NIFES also helped me relate with people irrespective of their ideologies without stepping on each other's toes. I also can work in any organization with the administrative skills I have learned in NIFES.

I experienced the baptism of the Holy Ghost in NIFES, and my understanding was enlightened about Bible Study and effective ways to read the Bible. NIFES built my confidence when I served at the Zonal level from the group level. Indeed, NIFES brings out the values in me. Most of all, I got an understanding of the true gospel that gets people saved in NIFES. I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in NIFES. I learned to relearn and unlearn a lot about interpersonal relationships, leadership, humility, and Christian living. All thanks to God.

Little naive and shy me came to campus with love and passion for God, and NIFES took me in, groomed me, and acted as a refining ground. Hallelujah! Today, I can beat my chest before God that I have been refined and polished. NIFES provided the platform.

ALT 2023 was indeed a blessing to me. My expectations were met; my love and passion for God has moved to another level. I have a better understanding of my Job Description as a Student Leader. The fear of witnessing to unbelievers is gone. I am bold and I’m taking this fire to my campus. I am winning my campus for Christ because I am called to be His witness

“LTC shifted some of my priorities away from ephemeral things to Kingdom work. I met with a lot of men and women of God, who came to minister the word and they left me with a burden for evangelism. I was awed by the deep sense of seriousness and spirituality even during the nominations and elections, and with the respect for order and authority. In all, LTC was a life shifting experience for me."

NIFES, Bauchi Area
“This is my third Advanced Leadership Training, and this year’s training was indeed timely for me, especially the session which addressed “Intentional Discipleship, Principles and Practices”. I have come to understand that discipleship must be a deliberate effort and must be based on the WORD of God, for anything outside scriptural pattern turns into cultism. More so, I was made to understand that I cannot help someone become what I have not become. My heart has been filled with great teachings from various sessions of which I trust God to be committed to learning to become a better Christian and implementing them as a Student Leader as God gives me grace.”

"ALT'23 was a huge eye opener, as I began to see things from a clearer perspective, and now have a better understanding of the NIFES Cardinal Programmes. Getting to really understand what the Strategic Plan is also, I made a commitment instantly to put in my best, and ensure that it is effectively carried out."
