INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP OF CHARISMATIC MINISTRIES

Who are we:

IFCM  was inaugrated by Bible based and respected ministers to facilitate building strong local, and International relationships between Faith and Bible believing ministries, and to develop a spirit of unity and co-operation within the wider church body. A healthy body is more able to fulfil its God given mandate.

So what is the purpose of IFCM?

IFCM is a non-denominational fellowship that is faith based and Spirit orientated to meet the needs of Faith and Charismatic ministers World-Wide. We care about every ministry associated with us at IFCM, a miisterial fellowship which is a trusted home for God's co-workers.

We recognise that many independent and itinerant ministers need a recognised covering for their ministries, we offer that ministerial home. Many of our member ministers have been ordained with others fellowships and denominations, for them, we can transfer credentials. Others might require ordination and this is done relationally with the process being inatiated by the completion of the Ministerial Ordination Application [Form MA 0010] Whilst we are keen to process ordination for all those called of God, we will not ordain without a clear witness of the candidates genuine "call" to the ministry.

God is raising up Word and Spirit Churches and Ministries all over the World that teach the Word, and Faith and move in the power of the Holy Spirit.

IFCM provides a link for ministries to attach with so that those ministries can thereafter be a part of a recognised and repected network of Bible believing ministers and Christian workers. We also offer valuable ecpertise for our members, at times we are an important point of reference, from our extensive pool of experience we offer a Biblical perspective to guide and advise when needed.
