Reunion Camp in Malaysia

Pst Joy, Devin, Pst Anand, Sis Sassha and myself joined an intimate camp in Malaysia. The attendees mostly used to attend a Church from which we conducted several camps over the course of many years when these now young adults were youth. The camp was aptly themed "reunion" and it was wonderful to reconnect with each other and experience a powerful move of God!

Farewell to Pst Rich & Elizabeth Primo!

We are preparing to bid farewell to Pst Rich & Elizabeth Primo! I am confident that God is with them as they move on towards their next assignment and that they are leaving behind what the Bible calls, "Fruit that Remains." Their last Sunday at ICCJ will be on August 10. Please make sure to say your good-bye's in person before then. Rich & Elizabeth, you guys are awesome and you will be missed!!!

Alpha Course is Awesome!!

This last week-end, we launched an actual Alpha Course for training purposes. Normally Alpha runs in a small group setting over 10 weeks. We are doing it in 3 week-ends, Friday at 6:30pm (dinner served) and Saturday at 9am (breakfast served). Members of ICCJ and also from our good friends at IES joined together and the first week-end was POWERFUL!

If you missed it, it's not too late to come and be a part of one or both of the next week-ends. Even if you can only come to one session, you will benefit from gaining even some understanding of one of the new and effective ways that God is reaching this generation. To date, Alpha has been attended worldwide by well over 10 million people with 1 million people making the quality decision to be Christ Followers.

We snapped a few photo's of last week-ends training if you want to click the link below...

We hope to see you Friday! Anyone is welcome from any Church or even if you don't go to Church or even if you simply want to find out more about Jesus. ICCJ maintains an environment where you can "belong before you believe." We love all people and simply want to offer you a caring and safe place where you can check things out!

Family Camp 2008

Click on the above link to check out some pics of Family Camp 2008. It was an amazing time of fun, fellowship and receiving from God!! More then 250 of ICCJ's members were in attendance at the Mount Herman retreat center in Puncak. On Sunday, we held our normal services at Bellagio and the other 150 or so ICCJ'ers who weren't able to attend the camp enjoyed feasting on God's Word in His presence as well!

Bishop Ray Llarena from Chicago, Pastor Joy's afther, was our guest speaker and he delivered a "now word", affecting change in the lives of all who were prepared to receive! Awesome!!

Israel Houghton is a Classy Guy!

The bad news is that things did not work out for Israel and New Breed to perform their concert on July 1. The good news is that they did re-schedule with us. The new concert date is tentatively November 25 and possibly earlier. The further good news is that the seminar conducted by Jakarta City Shakers Community was well attended and blessed many and the concert was a success. Even though Israel and New Breed did not perform and everyone who bought tickets was informed ahead of time, still well over 1,000 people came to worship that evening as Joy McKinney and Soul2Praiz did the full concert instead of the opening concert. And it was awesome! The new songs which were played live for the first time were very well received and even more importantly, God showed up in an amazing way!!! He knows the end from the beginning and His timing is always perfect!!

The reason why I entitled this posting that Israel Houghton is a Classy Guy is because he made a video clip just for us which we played at the seminar and concert. He explained that he couldn't come, encouraged us to make the best of the night and told us about how excited he is to come at the re-scheduled time. He certainly didn't have to do that but he did! Thank you Israel Houghton!
