ReGISTER YOUR INTEREST

  • Being part of the IVP has been awesome. It has allowed me to experience the culture of this place and has pushed me out of my comfort zone in a really healthy way. It has given me many opportunities to take risk. To talk to people, to pray and minister to people. It has raised the faith ceiling in my life.
