International Faith Christian Fellowship Church Welcome & New Member’s Orientation Introduction International Faith Christian Fellowship Church (IFCFC) was founded in 1992 in Brooklyn, New York, by Bishop Dr. Evan Grant. IFCFC is a faith based Ministry with a yearning for souls. IFCFC is dedicated to fulfill God’s commission to the Church and the Gospel of Jesus our crucified Savior. IFCFC is committed to preach, and teach the gospel of God’s Holy Kingdom until every nation hears, knows, receives, and accepts the gospel which imparts salvation. Matthew 24:14 states “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” IFCFC is structured solely on biblical principles. These principles will encourage and support your walk with Jesus as a follower of Christ, and develop your discipleship. You will be convicted to live a Godly lifestyle, within the world without worldliness. Roman 12:1-2 states “I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but transform yourself by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” IFCFC believe in the promises of God, and requires believers to be true stewards within the ministry, and return a tenth (10%) of your earnings in tithes, planting seed faith and other ministry offerings. In doing so, believers will secure the blessings of heaven in their life and obtain prosperity. Malachi 3:10 “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in house, and prove me now herewith, saith the lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”

International Faith Christian Fellowship Church Please know that every one is a special asset to the ministry. We welcome your presence, talents, resources, needs, cooperation and good repute. We believe in serving our community in restoring what has been lost, stolen or destroyed by the enemy. We diligently work within nursing homes, rehab centers, prisons, correction centers, juvenile programs and provide supplementary food packages to distressed families and individuals. You are more than welcome, to work in any area to which you called, or in which you will be a blessing. In our ministry there is no FEAR: Fear is: False Evidence Appearing Real. We believe there is only one true God, and that is the God of the Bible. The God of our fore father Abraham. In our ministry we always PUSH: through trials, tribulations, hardships, disbeliefs, acts of unholiness, deceptions, unforgiveness. When we PUSH we Pray until something supernatural happens. Welcome, esteemed visitors, friends, and guests! We are truly honored to have you with us, and pray that you, and your family will find a special place with our family of God. We look forward to seeing you in all of our services, where we know you will be fed of the word, and leave us blessed!

God’s Plan for Salvation THE PLAN OF SALVATION FROM THE WORD.

What must I do? Jesus stated in John 3:3…’’Verily, verily I say unto you, except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” When the Holy Spirit convicts, he shines the light on all that is unrighteous or impure. You will become abundantly aware of what is wrong in your life. Yet, you will have no way to fix it. You need a change. 1. Acknowledge Jesus. The first step toward salvation is acknowledging

and accepting the fact that you need a change in your life. You need a savior. It is important to know there is no other name given whereby men might be saved. Acts 2:21, “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. ”Acts 4:12Neither is there Salvation in any other name given among men, whereby we must be saved. 2. Repent. Repent means you want to turn to Jesus. You run away long

enough. It is now time to Jesus – allow him to take you to the sanctuary of our Fathers bosom, where you shall be comforted and protected. Do not look back; repent from your heart. This is not with your head or your lips. You must be genuinely sorry for your style of living and willing to make that change. 2 Corinthians 7:10 “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death”. Talk to Jesus about what’s going on in your life. Confess. 1 John 1:9 states, “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 3. Ask. Now ask Jesus to forgive your sins. Ask Him into your heart,

to be your Lord and Savior, and your best friend. Jesus will not refuse. He promised in John 6:37, “All that the Father giveth me

shall come to me, and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” 4. Believe. You must believe that you are whole; that you are saved.

Romans 10:10, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. “Do not be moved by what you feel, simply believe. 5. Set Free. Now live! For you are set free from the bondage of sin and

death. You are saved; you decided to make a change. You are a new creature in Christ Jesus. John 8:36 states, “If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” Jesus not only made you free, he reconciled you back to God. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A FREE GIFT FROM GOD 2 Corinthians 5:21 “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.’’ Roman 5:15 “But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16, And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification. 17, For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much mire they which receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.

International Faith Christian Fellowship Church Therefore, seeing we have this Ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servant for Jesus sake. For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4 1-6

International Faith Christian Fellowship Church HOLINESS 1 Peter 1: 14 – 16, “As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance. But as he, which called

you, is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, be ye holy; for I am holy.
