At ICM, our mission to build healthy churches and nurture discipleship around the world is made possible through the invaluable partnerships we form with indigenous ministries. These partnerships are the cornerstone of our work, enabling us to reach communities with the Gospel in culturally relevant and impactful ways.

Understanding what it means to be a partner with ICM is essential to appreciating the collaborative and transformative nature of our ministry efforts. Let’s explore what defines a partner and how these relationships drive our mission forward.

A partner is an indigenous ministry that we collaborate with to achieve our mission. These partners are established ministries within their own countries, deeply rooted in their local communities and cultures. They bring invaluable insights and connections that enable ICM to effectively support and expand the reach of the Gospel.

A partner ministry is characterized by its commitment to the same core values and vision as ICM. These ministries are already actively engaged in their communities, providing spiritual guidance, support, and outreach. By partnering with ICM, they gain access to additional resources, training, and support that enhance their capacity to serve and grow. This collaboration allows for the construction of church buildings and training centers, the development of discipleship programs, and the implementation of outreach initiatives that might otherwise be beyond their reach.

The essence of partnership with ICM lies in mutual respect and shared goals. These indigenous ministries are not just recipients of aid; they are co-laborers in the mission, bringing their unique strengths and perspectives to the table. This partnership model ensures that the work is culturally relevant and sustainable, as it is driven by those who understand the local context best. Together, ICM and its partners are able to make a lasting impact, reaching lives and communities through the power of the Gospel.
