ICM

ICM ICM is The Global Church Developer. We equip churches around the world with vital resources: infrastructure, discipleship tools and training to grow and thrive.

Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram () for more updates! Do you want to reach the world for Christ? We do, too. By equipping indigenous Christian congregations with two vital tools we can make this possible: a permanent church building and practical discipleship for oral learners in their heart language. Our strategy to grow God’s Church is effective because we

build upon existing relationships and resources in the field. The congregations we aid provide the land and labor for each project; our indigenous ministry partners provide oversight and accountability. The result is a sustainable, replicable model of Church growth. In over 30 years, we’ve completed over 11,000 projects in more than 100 countries. Those churches have planted an additional 44,000 congregations in some of the world's most difficult areas. The Church is not a building, but we’ve learned that a permanent church home empowers pastors and congregations in the developing world to reach their own communities for Christ. ICM churches are used every day for small group meetings, medical clinics, orphan care, education, addiction rehab, vocational training, seminaries, and much more. We don’t stop there. We also translate and distribute a practical Bible study to our partners, for free, in over 60 languages. Every week, 45,000 different small groups around the world use these resources to grow their faith. You can help us accomplish our vision for a church within walking distance of everyone in the world. Check out https://icm.org for more info on how you can be a part of what God is doing!

At 15 years old, Sally believed her story was over. After enduring years of abuse, she and her one-year-old child were rescued and brought to safety at a Christian orphanage in the Philippines.

For days she barely spoke.Then, surrounded by people who showed her the love of Christ, hope slowly began to return.

Today, her story reminds us that no life is beyond redemption and no story is beyond God's reach.

The before is barely a structure. Wooden poles driven into red earth, branches woven together overhead, open on every side to whatever the weather brings. No walls. No sign. Nothing that says church except the faith of the people who gathered there.

That was enough to start. It was never meant to be enough forever.

The after is Rhema Full Gospel Church in Ghana. Concrete block walls with a cross built into the facade. A covered entrance. A banner outside with service times for Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. A building that has a schedule because the congregation inside it has a mission.

Between those two photos is a decision someone made to give. And a local church that took that gift and built something the wind cannot take down.

ICM partners with local churches in 111 countries to make exactly that possible, equipping the leaders already doing the work with what they need to go further.

A missionary without credentials. A congregation without a building. A pastor with no denomination backing his work.

Around the world, there are thousands like this. And they are exactly who God is using.

Dr. Paul David Tripp poses an uncomfortable question: What mission board would have chosen Moses? A murderer. Gideon? A man paralyzed by fear. David? A shepherd boy with no experience.

None of them would have made the cut.

But God doesn't recruit by resume. He recruits by conviction. And in 111 countries, that's what ICM has learned to recognize: leaders who planted churches in their living rooms because they had no buildings. Pastors who disciple communities with pure faith because they have no budget. People who built the kingdom without waiting for permission.

They're not perfect. They don't look good on paper. But they're transforming their communities while we deliberate.

Your support doesn't equip the "right" people. It equips the ones already doing the work.

See the real impact. 👇

In the before photo, women in colorful saris sit on the ground in the open air, gathered in the middle of a village in Bangladesh, worshipping without walls or a roof above them. There is nothing temporary about their faith. Only everything around them.

In the after, that same congregation stands in front of a permanent church with its name written above the entrance, a red cross rising above the roofline, and marigold garlands framing the door on inauguration day. Balloons. Smiles. A building that finally caught up with the people inside it.

What changed is the structure. What never changed is the conviction that brought them together in the first place, on the ground, under the open sky, before any of this existed.

ICM partners with local churches in 111 countries to build spaces worthy of the faith already inside them. Your giving is what makes that possible.

On September 6 of 2020, believers from 200 villages gathered in Chon Daen, Central Thailand, for a public baptism that may be the largest in the country's history. 1,400 people made a public confession of their new life in Christ.

One elderly woman entered the water on crutches. One man came in a wheelchair. Many were accompanied by the friend who had led them to Jesus.

This moment didn't happen overnight. It grew from a church that started in a living room in 1984, led by a motorcycle mechanic named Somsak with no theological degree and no formal training. Just a Bible and neighbors willing to listen. That movement now has 18,000 Christians, eight churches built with ICM support, and 200 pastors equipped with discipleship materials.

The 1,400 baptized in Thailand are not the end of the story. With a training center in the works and more house churches being planted every month, they are just the beginning.

Your giving is part of what makes that possible.
