An Amazing Fall for ICN
Between the dates of September 22 and November 3, the Intercultural Network hosted an astounding five separate events by five separate teams.
The full impact of these events remains to be seen, but the harvest that has already been gathered is incredibly encouraging.
Dozens have come to know Jesus and even more have joined Discovery Groups to investigate what it means to really connect to Jesus Christ personally.
ICN has developed a strategy called WHEN (Women’s Heart Engaging Network), which has seen a great deal of success in the past four years, reaching out to Cantonese-speaking women. Because of their success, four other groups have been able to launch: Young WHEN, Filipino WHEN, African WHEN and Intercultural WHEN. Their process is similar to another of Power to Change’s ministries, LeaderImpact Group (LIG). A team of volunteers is engaged and identifies who they want to reach. ICN staff then provide ministry training and administrative help needed to host an outreach event. During the event, someone shares their story of how relevant their faith in Christ is in their life. At the close of the event, the call to action is connect personally to Christ or explore more through participating in a Discovery Group. During the Discovery Group phase, the Faith Adventure team evaluates their effectiveness and re-engages to plan a new event.
This simple but effective Faith Adventure process was implemented in British Columbia and Alberta this fall, with some notable stories arising.
In one instance, a woman who is a quadriplegic found forgiveness and release from her anger towards God. In another case, a Muslim woman found freedom and blessing in a relationship with Jesus.
ICN staff are amazed and grateful at what God is doing throughout their ministry. They look forward to continually developing the WHEN strategy, supporting the existing teams, and seeing believers inspire others to share the good news of Jesus.
