ICCJ Missions and ICCJ Multi-Media Missions

Two Mission Departments:

With our Mission Convention held this last month, we introduced a second Mission Department specifically for Multi-Media… We at ICCJ have for many years been concerned with Missions. I am honored to serve a Church with such an awesome vision. I would not Pastor a Church without a strong mission emphasis and I am happy to say that most of our members would not be involved with a Church without a strong mission program.

The reason that we started the second department is that we understand that the Multi-Media (TV, Radio, Follow-up Print Material, etc) ministries which we operate and/or partner with are endeavors that most Churches will not attempt to operate. Multi-Media ministry requires major resources as much in the area of creative and committed people as of finances. We started because God brought together an undeniably divine mix of people without which we would not move forward. Corporations, other Churches and people from all Churches and nations will partner with us in Multi-Media Missions.

The first group of partners submitted pledges and I was amazed! When God is in something, it will always succeed. We are able to move to the next phase of ministry. The Bible says to “despise not small beginnings” but when a small beginning is this big, it is a sign of incredible things to come! For those of you who made pledges, I thank you from the very depths of my heart. This vote of confidence has imparted great strength to us. Of course what has been committed is not nearly enough to reach every Indonesian city with the various programs that we have developed and are developing, but as ICCJ Multi-Media Missions grows through partnerships, I am confident that we will be able to saturate the airwaves of this nation for God’s glory. If you are following this ministry from a distance, please do prayerfully consider partnership with us, particularly if you are a viewer and benefit from our regular program, “Alive at the Connection.”

Here is the basic idea… The programs are primarily in the Indonesian language which are well-received by people of all faiths and by the communities they are aired in because they are designed to be of public service benefit. The programs target families, marriages, business people, youth, health and more. There is also the powerful use of music and the arts. Formats range from ½ hour talk shows to 3 minute information segments. As viewers and listeners call in to our hotline and SMS ministry, we are not only able to provide them practical answers, but we are also able to pray with them and connect them to local Pastors.

My vision as Pastor of ICCJ is double edged. I am committed that our Church will directly plant 1,000 Churches through ICCJ Missions but also that we will bless and help to build 100,000 Churches as a result of ICCJ Multi-Media Missions.

I am grateful for Pastor Rishi Anandani for his leadership of the ICCJ’s Missions Department. He is wise beyond his years and is doing an awesome job building a powerful team of ministers who are mightily impacting this nation. I am also grateful for Pastor Pat Cochenour for his leadership of this newly formed ICCJ Multi-Media Missions department. Pat and Linda Cochenour have been in Indonesia for 25 years and run MTC Productions with whom we are partnered in certain areas of ICCJ Multi-Media Missions.

Please pray for ICCJ Missions and now also for ICCJ Multi-Media Missions. I cannot explain how much we need your prayers right now. As our Church public profile goes up, the warfare is increasing… and the need for spiritual protection is urgent. Thank you so very much!
