What is the legal and leadership history of IFM?
The International Fellowship of Ministries as early as 1915, was an informal covenant relationship of John G. Lake and some men named Cyrus B. Fockler, Charles W. Westwood, Archibald Fairley, one of unity in faith that produced many wonderful miracles, performed by the Holy Spirit. When Lake left his Church in Spokane, Washington, to go to Portland, Oregon, he left that pastorate to a woman that was faithful and who herself had one of the most powerful healing anointing known, at that time.The International Fellowship of Ministries was later legally founded, on May 6, 1947, as an outgrowth and a continuation of the ministry of John G. Lake.
