Your gifts fuel the global proclamation of His Word. They are multiplied and blessed by God in ways only He can accomplish and comprehend.
My advice this Christmas? Allow the traditions of the season to stir you up by way of reminder. Allow the things familiar to point you to things essential.
Christian leaders with character continue to be in demand. Ezekiel recorded God’s plea for leaders who would “stand in the gap before Me for the land,” but, tragically, He “found no one” (Ezekiel 22:30).

If Christ has used IFL to touch your life and you want to stand with us in sharing His gentle invitation to others, please prayerfully consider sending a financial gift this month.
