We are here to establish, build, and increase your faith in God through Jesus Christ.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)
But without faith it is impossible to please him: For he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)
Increasing Faith Ministries (IFM) is a ministry founded and rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the word of God, which is the Holy Bible.
We are assigned by God, the duty to encourage, uplift, build, and increase people's faith in God. And by doing this, it will give people the strength and ability to obtain savlation through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; to keep salvation, and to serve God.
IFM's mission is to win souls for Christ. We do this by teaching unbelievers the message of love, faith, salvation, and obedience in God. We empower believers to strengthen their relationship and walk with God through increased faith. We provide practical principles (supported by the word of God) for individuals to use in their everyday lives which gives them not just a religion, but a true relationship with God the Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
