International Friendship Partners, better known as IFP, is a great opportunity to plug into church life. God doesn’t need any of us, but this is an opportunity to be a co-laborer with Jesus!

Started in 2014 by Valerie Gastinel, IFP’s vision is to connect FPCBR members to unreached internationals, including students, families, and professionals. IFP aims to build bridges of friendship, trust, and Christ’s love. With encouragement and support from FPCBR’s leadership, we have been doing this ever since.

We’d love for you to be a part of IFP’s future. Contact Valerie Gastinel (225.241.1386, vgastinel@yahoo.com) or LeeAnn Kozan (leeannkozan@gmail.com or 850.899.5444) to get involved or hear more about IFP.
