Unless the Lord builds the house the workers labour in vain.
Folks we need your help.
Graduate Impact cannot run any of its programmes without you.
We need people willing to ‘have a go’ at leading Cross-Current groups, or mentoring final year students. We need people to advocate for work with young Christian professionals in their IFES movement and in their church. We need people to support the ministry financially and to help us raise the profile of this work locally. But above all we need people to pray.
