Who We Are

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. --Proverbs 31:8

ICC is a coalition of concerned Christians who believe that we must reach out and help Christians persecuted for their faith. ICC is not an extension of any foreign organization or church denomination. The more you become familiar with ICC, the more you will realize just how unique and important this ministry is to the body of Christ.

We minister to those who are on the front lines of a spiritual battle. These Christians frequently pay a price, sometimes costing them their lives, landing them in prison, and causing much hardship. Jesus said: "I was sick and in prison and you came to me."

Moreover, the Bible says: "All those who want to live a godly life in Christ will suffer persecution" (2 Timothy 3:12). Rarely is this preached in America. At least two-thirds of the Christians of the world today are suffering under some form of persecution.

We at ICC believe that we can, and must, do something to demonstrate our love and support for persecuted Christians. We can help by:

1. writing letters of encouragement
2. writing protests to government leaders
3. raising public awareness
4. soliciting our government's support
5. offering practical assistance to the persecuted, and
6. remembering the persecuted in prayer (Hebrews 13:3).

It has been said that more Christians will be martyred this century than all previous centuries combined. We either can ignore this reality or we can face it before it faces us. A knowledgeable and active Christian is a far more powerful and effective steward.

Be informed.
Become actively involved.
Visit our web site often.

It is my prayer that you will join me in helping reach out to the persecuted.

Sincerely in Christ,

President of ICC
