Fusion are committed to championing a worldwide movement of student mission. We believe in the power and potency of students as a force for revival and transformation in the world and recognise that university is a key formational, decision‑making time for them. We are convinced that it is the local church who are best placed to nurture, disciple and support students into mission across campuses, cities and beyond. Fusion, therefore, seeks to equip students for a life of mission and discipleship by guiding them into local churches that are trained and resourced to effectively care for and release students into the calling God has placed on their lives.
