Why FES?
In the early 60s with the emerging of Christian Fellowships in some tertiary institutions in Malaysia, the need was felt for a coordinating body to strengthen these fellowships through training and counseling.
Hence FES came to be through the concerted efforts of some graduates and students. While a member of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), FES Malaysia remains an independent body, run by Malaysians and supported by Malaysians.

1950s
Students in fellowship, at the then University Malaya in Singapore saw the potential of students impacting students in campus. Hence FES came to be. Graduates came back to avail their resources to disciple, shape and walk alongside students. |
1962
With the imminent separation of Singapore from Malaysia, FES Malaysia was birthed through the combined effort of both students and graduates of that era. The goal was to inspire the endless possibility of the impact students can have in the campus and later, as graduates, wherever they are placed. |

 Malaysia officially became part of the evangelical student fellowships that exists in 150 countries around the globe. We support each other by providing resources and personnel to help move the ministry in different places. Nevertheless FES
Malaysia remains an indigenous movement, run and supported by
Malaysians. |
