INTERNATIONAL FAITH INITIATIVESINC About UsAbout UsInternational Faith Initiatives, Inc., was launched in 2001 by Rev. Dr. Mike and Ruth Linville after serving as missionaries for four years in Kiev, Ukraine. There, they helped start and direct one of the early post-Soviet Bible colleges where some 100 young ministers were equipped for ministry. You can read their story in When God Comes Calling, available in ebook format at Amazon.com. ​ The IFI Team also consists of national staff, among them Dr. Artyom Kluchnikov, who leads most in-country operations. Our medical team is led by an American physician and his wife, a pediatric nurse. The vision to reach the former Soviet countries with the message of the Gospel is one that IFI is committed to, primarily through bringing long-term systemic change to the fields of medicine and organizational leadership. IFI is committed to helping national churches and their leadership to thrive, despite overwhelming political, economic, and societal challenges.
