In this Voices of IFES, we speak to David Velkovski, a pharmacy student and part-time staff worker with SEAM, the IFES movement in North Macedonia. David shares his journey from shy newcomer in Skopje to active leader in SEAM. As IFES celebrates 50 years of World Student Day this October, David also shares how his movement marks the day and what it means for him.  David speaks of the power of prayer in connecting students across the world and notes how it helps SEAM grow in faith and community. He also offers insights into what it’s like to share Christ in his context, a predominantly religious culture, and how important it is to build deep relationships. David’s story is a heartwarming testimony to the call of IFES to be part of something bigger – locally, nationally, and globally.
