A healthy church, regardless of its location around the globe, is one that embodies the principles of discipleship, outreach, and the faithful preaching of the gospel.

Discipleship is central to this process, as it involves teaching, mentoring, and nurturing individuals to become more like Christ. This commitment to spiritual growth is evident in the church’s dedication to studying the Bible, engaging in prayer, and fostering deep, meaningful relationships among
its members.

The preaching of the Gospel is paramount in a healthy church. It is through the clear and consistent proclamation of the Good News that individuals come to understand the depth of God’s love and the transformative power of Jesus Christ. A healthy church prioritizes Gospel-centered preaching that is rooted in Scripture, relevant to the lives of its congregation, and compelling in its call to repentance and faith. This preaching not only edifies believers but also serves as a beacon of hope to those who have yet to hear the message of salvation.

Outreach is another vital component of a healthy church. A church that is truly thriving looks beyond its own walls to serve and engage with the broader community. This can take many forms, from local service projects and humanitarian aid to global missions and evangelism. The goal is to share the love of Christ and meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people both near and far. By doing so, the church not only fulfills the Great Commission but also demonstrates the transformative power of the Gospel in tangible ways. Ultimately, a healthy church is one that is united in its mission to make disciples of all nations, reflecting the love and grace of God in every corner of the world.

The work that we do here at ICM plays a crucial role in fostering healthy churches around the world by providing resources and support for discipleship, outreach, and Gospel preaching.

Through our global network, we partner with local churches to construct church buildings and training centers, ensuring that congregations have a safe and permanent place to gather and worship. Additionally, we offer discipleship materials and training programs that equip church leaders and members to grow in their faith and effectively share the Gospel. By focusing on both the physical and spiritual needs of communities, ICM churches become vibrant centers of hope and transformation, reflecting the love and grace of God to the nations.
