Chera Fellowship<br />

Chera Fellowship is a publication of <strong>IFCA</strong> <strong>International</strong> available for widows<br />

and widowers in your church. It is published quarterly and is designed to meet<br />

the spiritual needs of men and women who are alone through Bible study and<br />

networking prayer support. It provides practical tips for daily living with articles<br />

on car maintenance, finances and travel suggestions. Each issue has personal<br />

testimonies of God's abundant grace.<br />

Youth Ministries<br />

Ministry to the youth of today's Church is critical in preparing tomorrow's<br />

leaders. <strong>IFCA</strong> <strong>International</strong> provides an Annual Youth Convention during the<br />

last week of June at different college campuses across the nation. The goal is<br />

to rotate from the western states, to the central states, and eastern states to<br />

conduct the convention closer to each church every three or four years. The<br />

purpose for the Annual Youth Convention is to encourage and equip students for<br />

service in their local church. This is done in many ways throughout the weeklong<br />

convention. Each convention features a main speaker, who presents<br />

challenges from God's Word, as well as many breakout sessions with other<br />

speakers who address various areas of Christian living. Our Bible quizzing<br />

ministry helps hundreds of students across the country memorize entire books of<br />

the New Testament and then quiz on them with "key word" accuracy. We also<br />

have "Ministry Training Areas" that are effective tools for mentoring teens and<br />

helping them to sharpen their skills and gifts for use in their local church. Those<br />

areas include Bible preaching, Bible story teaching, drama, puppetry, worship<br />

leading, and music (vocal, instrumental and song writing.) Throughout the<br />
