INITIATIVES

ICCC's long-term strategies include releasing and making available the Lord's resources into Kingdom agendas; stimulating development of member businesses and services, and undertaking strategic national and international initiatives that have as their objectives the manifestation of the Kingdom of God in the marketplaces of today's world. Implied in these strategies is the development of an interactive network of mature, dedicated, Christian business and governmental leaders. The ICCC network aggressively seeks to conduct business according to Kingdom principles within the context of the world's systems, providing a practical witness and forum available for the LORD to demonstrate the difference between those who follow Him and those who do not (Mal. 3:18)

Understanding the times is central to the development of effective and anticipatory Kingdom responses to today's constantly changing conditions in the marketplace. Major paradigm shifts are currently underway, involving nations, markets, economies, ethnic groups, resources and global relationships. Despite the impact of the changes, discontinuities and disillusionment being experienced around the globe, the ICCC is committed to the demonstration of the principle in Malachi 3:18.

This is a time of unusual strategic alliances between the Lord's chosen in the marketplace, and a group of uniquely chosen persons of the world; much like Pharaoh in the time of Joseph, or like King Cyrus during the time of the Babylonian captivity. The Pharaoh's and Cyrus' of today are persons in strategic, pivotal positions who, while they may not be among His disciples, are used by Him as gatekeepers and facilitators for His redemptive purposes.

In summary, the ICCC is a worldwide network of committed business people who view their businesses and their role in business as instruments for God's purposes. The ICCC serves to encourage, edify, connect, unite and launch, like-minded Kingdom business owners and executives into meaningful dialogues, plans and ventures appropriate to God's agendas for our day. The practical outworking of the ICCC is to approach business from a higher plane – with the result of releasing the authority, wisdom and power of God through Jesus Christ into the operation of the marketplaces of the world.
