ICP exists to work alongside the church to train and equip pastors, planters, and missionaries in areas of the world where the church is growing, but opportunities for training are scarce.

In the West, we have long seen our primary role as harbingers of the gospel to the world. But if we step back and look at what is happening globally it becomes evident that our role needs to expand. In the Global South (Africa, S. America, and parts of Asia) the gospel is spreading like wildfire, churches are being planted, and many people are professing faith in Christ. There continues to be a great need, however. They need discipleship, training, and theological formation. That's where we can step in and be a part of the movement of the Kingdom across the globe. 

What about the least reached? What about the sowing fields? One of the keys to effectively communicating the gospel with people groups who are most closed, resistant, and unresponsive is the equipping and unleashing of the Global South to take the gospel to foreign lands. There's a great army of Spirit-filled followers of Jesus in the Global South and God will call many of them to go as missionaries. They need training and healthy churches to send them. We will reach the sowing fields by training the harvest fields.
