Zip Code Update

The local Post Office here in Greensboro informed us that because of "efficiency updates" to their system all mail addressed to IFM at P.O. Box 7791 must use the zip code 27417.  We have maintained this box since moving our headquarters to Greensboro in 1977 and have been able to use the standard area zip code until recently. Please make note of this change and update your records accordingly.

 

Inflation

Inflation is the news of the day, and one that even your missionaries across the world are facing. While we have seen amazing rises in prices and interest rates in America, missionaries have also faced doubling and tripling of supplies. For example, IFM missionaries Mathew and Mary Yennaah (Ghana) recently saw the projected cost of putting up a simple church structure more than triple in cost from $7000 to $26000. Such high inflation in Ghana has also resulted in the theft of several ministry motorbikes. While we might be tempted to fear financial strain, we are thankful to trust in a God who provides. We are thankful to see supporting churches help missionaries with one time "inflation cost" gifts or even support increases. What a wonderful God we serve!
