A key aspect of this position is organizing Philly Missions, which is an annual mission trip to Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia, PA.

This message could be a notification about an outreach event, an invitation to join in prayer, etc. This is the primary focus of IFA’s communication. Macro With macro communication, the message originates from IFA or an external organization and is passed to the various Christian fellowships and fellowship leaders. This message could be notification about an event, facilitating dialogue between the fellowships, etc. Statement of Assurance IFA will abide by the Carnegie Mellon University Statement of Assurance. http://www.cmu.edu/policies/documents/SoA.html Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.
