A Clarion Call to Action

In what may well be one of the most stirring messages I have ever heard at an IFCA Convention, Executive Director Les Lofquist drew a line in the sand that reaches from the beaches on the coast of Maine and South to Florida and encompasses everything from there to the West Coast. It was a clarion call to the churches and individual members of IFCA to rally to the need for renewed vigor and purpose in the Great Commission activity of church planting. "The needs of America are great", Lofquist said, "we must respond or die." In language that was sometimes very direct and forceful, and at other times filled with the passion and emotion of his heart, the IFCA Executive Director struck a note that would resonate throughout the Convention and will, hopefully, continue to resonate throughout America for years to come. It was no uncertain note ... but one that was loud and clear and unmistakable. If we, as a Fellowship, respond to the call, there is reason for hope as we look to the future. If we fail to respond and continue in the mediocrity of the status quo, may God have mercy on us.

Listen to the Vision America Keynote Message by Les Lofquist today. And go to the Vision America Website to listen to the excellent messages of Alex Montoya as well. These two have delivered a "one-two" punch that has been needed and must be reckoned with not only in IFCA International but in similar movements and fellowships across the land.

God Bless you brother Lofquist!
