Dear SoCal IFCA Members:
The Southern California Regional is much more than just life changing conferences and Regional meetings. The fellowship of churches and individuals is a dynamic and active resource for your Christian life and ministry all year long. Through our new SoCal Regional Representative Richard Bargas Sr. we are assisting churches with everything from pulpit supply to revitalizing struggling churches, as well as future plans for further church planting. Richard personally calls on and emails and attends services and meets with pastors and church leaders as his weekly ministry. He provides invaluable insight and encouragement from his 25 years of ministry experience as a pastor. He also reports monthly to the SoCal Regional Executive Committee with updates and receives their suggestions for further direction in order to maximize the assistance and wisdom many churches and individuals desperately need. Together with Richard, the committee prays for these churches and people, asking for the Lord’s help and continued blessing on their behalf and that their usefulness in building His church will increase.
This ongoing ministry of the SoCal Regional is only able to continue however because of the generous financial support of our member churches and individuals. While Richard’s ministry on behalf of the SoCal Regional is provided at no cost to those in the greatest need, we do depend on the Lord’s moving in the hearts of the leaders of our more established churches and individuals to contribute support. A simple line item in your Missions budget contributing $25, $50 or $100 per month to the “IFCA SoCal Regional” is all it takes to boost the monthly support to a level that will ensure this invaluable ministry continues for well beyond 2015, as God continues to build His church through IFCA International.
Churches that are Biblically minded, doctrinally sound and wholly devoted to obedience to Christ are becoming more and more scarce in these last days. IFCA International continues to provide an anchor to hold the church steady in a sea of doctrinal compromise and careless living far too often seen in churches that name the blessed name of Christ.
Thanks for your prayerful consideration of how you may be a part of what God is doing in your Regional. I hope you will get involved even more fully with the SoCal Regional as this new ministry year begins in your church.
Dr. Les Lofquist
