<strong>REGIONAL</strong> ORGANIZATION<br />
One of the great blessings of <strong>IFCA</strong> <strong>International</strong> is that our ORGANIZATION is<br />
kept to a minimum -- intentionally. In addition to that, the strength of the<br />
ORGANIZATION of <strong>IFCA</strong> <strong>International</strong> comes from the "grass roots", not from<br />
"the top, down."<br />
As a fellowship of individuals, churches and organizations <strong>IFCA</strong> <strong>International</strong><br />
does not control, manipulate, nor dictate to its membership. Thus, the<br />
ORGANIZATION of <strong>IFCA</strong> <strong>International</strong> for its Regionals is found in the<br />
Constitution in Article XV (see section beginning on page 38 of this handbook),<br />
Regional Affiliation with <strong>IFCA</strong> <strong>International</strong>. Though this section is brief, it does<br />
include some very basic and valuable directives.<br />
As with the Regional's GOALS and PRIORITIES, so also it is well to keep<br />
the Regional's PURPOSE in view as the ORGANIZATION is established,<br />
maintained and evaluated. Some important questions to be answered in this<br />
regard are found on the worksheet on the following page.<br />
The ORGANIZATION of the Regional should not restrict nor hinder the<br />
ministry of the Regional, but rather be a valuable tool that will help, encourage<br />
and strengthen the Regional!<br />
The following outline can be used in formulating and atriculating the<br />
purpose of your Regional. Set aside a good portion of time to meet with<br />
current and past Regional leaders and discuss these things together.<br />
<strong>REGIONAL</strong> ORGANIZATION ASSESSMENT<br />
