ON GOING AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST (OAFC) |
|
| SE Illinois group of Ongoing Ambassadors For Christ | OAFC is a recognized service organization of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod; teaching youth and adults to better share their faith in Jesus Christ as the only way to heaven, through the suffering, death and resurrection of God's son, Jesus Christ. OAFC's three fold purpose is to (1)witness to all about the certainty of eternal life through Jesus Christ (2)invite the unchurched to the congregations we serve (3)train other youth and adults to confidently share their faith. We share this message of Jesus through: Bible study - witnessing methods - drama - puppets - personal witness - song - prayer
