Thank you for your interest in ICCC Canada. We would recommend reading a copy of ICCC founder Gunnar Olson’s book Business Unlimited: Memories of the Coming Kingdom as it provides a clear outline of the heart of the ministry.  A fundamental understanding of the vision will assist you to discern whether you are called to participate in this “kingdom-minded” marketplace ministry.

International General Meetings

The International General Meeting (IGM) will be convened at least once every two years. This membership meeting is designed to consider and approve the business activities and developing opportunities of the ICCC, to evaluate the effectiveness of the work of the ICCC, and to provide a vehicle and forum to network and build up the members and local ICCC groups. An International Leadership meeting is also held at least once every two years.

ICCC CANADA National Conference/Gathering

ICCC-Canada holds a general conference annually. This meeting provides updates on current agendas; opportunity for new initiatives, relevant forums on Kingdom business activities within the US, as well as opportunity for networking and fellowship. When a National gathering is close o the time of an international or regional ( Americas) Gathering, we encourage members and prospective members to attend these gatherings. There is no substitute for actually being there to see and hear.

The Future

As the ICCC develops and crystallizes its calling to the market place, it is becoming evident that ICCC will be increasingly serving as a provider for God's covenant people, the Jews - and in support of the restoration of Israel. The great changes underway in the world today, will require the qualities exhibited by Joseph of old. ICCC will play an increasingly more significant role in releasing its members into the fullness of their callings. The IGTC and the business development initiatives ( see ICCC.Net for more info) will engage members to serve and invest in future leaders and generations.   This brings a very practical ability for us to be “answers to our own prayers “ and read in the scriptures , PS 2:8, ask of me and I will give you the nations as an inheritance…

There is a shaking underway across the globe. This shaking is only beginning. But with the shaking, the changes and discontinuities; the ICCC will provide the Light of Jesus and be a vehicle to facilitate and navigate profitably through the discontinuities.

In the midst of a world of change and disillusionment, the ICCC will become an increasing demonstration of the principle in Malachi 3:18, that the world will "see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not."

The ICCC Domains

Governance/Leadership. Focusing on leadership development is one of the main focuses of the work of the ICCC. Leadership has many dimensions to it, but the heart of leadership lies in faithfulness, service and an ability to encourage and inspire others.

We are working to help those called into ICCC leadership to develop into all that God intends for them. Related to leadership is management, and the ICCC has been developing tools to help ICCC leaders to oversee the work of the ministry and to manage an organization of the nature of the ICCC.

Administration is a further aspect to Governance. We see administration as "add-ministration," which means that it adds to the ministry. It should keep its right place, neither controlling nor being dismissed as unspiritual or unimportant. Lastly, the Governance domain deals with legal and tax matters.

Essentially, the Governance domain aims to equip ICCC and its leaders to serve as effectively as possible, to maintain necessary order and direction, and to release others for their particular calling.

Finance. The ICCC Finance domain oversees the establishment of the financial policies defining the parameters for the financial practices and principals embraced by the ICCC.

The goal of the Finance domain is to see ICCC fully walking in its purpose - to release business people to the walk of the Kingdom; to release the anointing into their respective businesses; and redeem the financial arena for the Lord - through the outward manifestation of our faith. Accordingly, the focus of the Finance Domain is to tap into God's strategy for financially supporting the outworking of His provision for the ongoing financial affairs of the organization, as well as to enable expansion of the ICCC throughout the globe. This all starts and flows from the stance of seeking first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness.

The Finance Domain has oversight of the ongoing financial affairs of the International Office. Funding for international activities comes primarily from membership dues and gifts. Similarly, an evaluation of core activities and business involvements and creative financial vehicles are being investigated with the goal of providing an ongoing stream of financial provisions for the ICCC. The Finance domain also provides advice and seed funds, when possible, to aid the members' and the chambers' activities.

The ICCC "helps" ministry is under the auspices of this domain. The "helps" ministry provide linkages or basic funding in the implementation of Isaiah 58 (helping the poor and needy) and mercy mission activities that complement the ICCC's primary activities. These efforts typically serve as the catalyst to the opportunities and relationships needed to redeem business people - by forming alliances with the business community, establishing micro-loan enterprises, providing ICCC video seminars and other pro-active efforts that infuse God's presence through the I.C.C.C. into the business community.

Teaching. The teaching domain has the responsibility of expounding on and rightly dividing God's Word, as it relates to Kingdom Principles for operating within the marketplace.

Christian business people are expected to be ethical. This is a baseline premise. But ethics alone is only a small part of the gospel message and the ICCC is intent on operating from the stance of Kingdom principals and of continually demonstrating to the world the truth in Malachi 3:18, that the world will "see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not."

The teaching domain is similarly pursuing the goal of imparting the truth of discipling nations. This domain is also serving to gather and develop solid teaching material pertinent to the ICCC call. This includes the Transformed Working Life series.

Initiatives for training and releasing members to serve in the 4 partner African Nations, Israel and other nations in a very practical way will be made possible as the Lord puts it on people’s hearts to serve with their talents. See the projects section for complete details.

Membership Development. The Membership Development domain has the responsibility of member services, IT, communications, and public relations. Membership Development is serving in formulating programs and tools that equip the ICCC to link and communicate with its membership, as well as to communicate the vision of ICCC with those outside the membership whose callings conform with the mission of ICCC. Through the technology of the internet and email, the ICCC is establishing groups of operational and functional networks throughout its membership.

Business Development. The purpose of the Business Development Domain is the networking of members and their businesses. Through the vehicle of networking, new business opportunities are anticipated with each other and within the markets served by our member businesses.

This domain is also developing a mentoring process for ICCC business people, which will assist and encourage members as they grow and press into new opportunities.

Agriculture. The purpose of the Agriculture Domain is to facilitate Kingdom agricultural businesses/agendas into becoming more effective in the purpose of cooperating with others around the world; establishing better and more effective agricultural systems; and seeing agricultural Kingdom people released into the Kingdom anointing so they can operate as genuine Kingdom business people.

The Agricultural Domain addresses the Godly principles of stewardship and obedience as it relates to agricultural people and their crops and cattle. Joseph the patriarch provided a model of stewarding the grain and cattle in his land; and upholding the economy and he facilitated a change in ownership of the land. This is the reverse of the typical worldly model of our day. Kingdom people are expected to repossess the land.

Intercession. The Intercession Domain is foundational to the admonition to "seek first His Kingdom and righteousness." This domain reflects the pulse that directs and guides ICCC leadership in establishing a Kingdom presence in the Marketplace. The Intercession Domain provides the focus and intercessory undergirding necessary to enable leadership to maintain the appropriate focus and right direction. Intercessors have a responsibility to stand in the gap for leadership and their agendas --- as well as to pray that Lord speak to the leaders on issues ---- and to provide confirmational encouragement relative to matters of insight on agenda/initiatives being prayed into.

Prayer .In Canada, there is a dedicated prayer team, called consecrated and committed to pray for the Leadership of ICCC Canada, International and Regional , as well as members and future marketplace members and leaders. This is done on a regular, corporate basis at this time, with the possibility in the future  of individual prayer and prophetic ministry through our website and teleconference facilities.
