As the Lord continues to open doors for IFC to share the gospel of Christ in this generation, we consider it such a blessing to be able to stretch His hands and feet to areas open to the gospel, craving the right direction, especially in areas that have been critical to bringing back His word to areas divided by war. Please enjoy these comments of those hearts and lives touched because of your prayers and support.

JUNE 2014
The main target for a leader is to multiply him/herself and mentor new emerging leaders. This has been the thrust of IFC in the past few years.
Equip, encourage and open opportunities to lead has created new partnership with hungry young leaders who have come up to the challenge in the area of planting new churches, youth ministries, evangelism and Christian literature.
The youth has always been treated as a less important ministry compared to the senior matters of the church. For us at IFC is the contrary. We have been investing in emerging leaders because they know better how to influence their generation that must be reached today and not tomorrow.
With only a 10 day notice what a magnificent time they had! When a great team from the University found out that their plans to go to northern Italy for evangelism were squashed the hunt was on for help. BOH who was working with them suggested they get ahold of Gaetano and Italy for Christ, which they did. Of course Gaetano said of course we will help and you will be a blessing to us!
And so Gaetano called his dear friend Francesco who immediately agreed and received the team with only 10 days’ notice. They were waiting outside the school to distribute La Mia Storia. Through it all, the team experienced lots of love and lots of teaching about being a missionary.
Below I hope you will enjoy reading the great reports from some of them!
COLUMBUS, OH 2014
What a wonderful blessing it was to become a part of this wonderful leadership team that we are preparing to bring to Italy. Our trip up north to Columbus was beyond expectation.
We were truly moved by the leadership of this amazing team and their love for all that is good, encouraging and complete. Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady’s heart to improve people’s lives in the eight primary categories of LIFE Leadership, called the 8 F’s, Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, Freedom, Friends Following, and Fun was evident in everything that everyone shared.
Every speaker that shared was so powerful and designed to provide ongoing doses of life-changing information to help form new habits over time. This approach to personal development is so effective. There are no limits to what your can accomplish.
