“The Thrive network of pastors does for isolated pastors what no other denomination or association is doing in the southern Philippines.”
— Paul Penley, Excellence in Giving Report 2017
Strengthening churches through world-class training and relationships
Pastors live and serve in the communities they are passionate about, and are often as poor as those they serve. Nearly 50% of pastors in the ICM Thrive Network receive a weekly offering of US$11 or less.
We support thousands of pastors every month with mentoring, accountability, bible study and prayer, as well as leadership and church management training.
Supporting Pastors
ICM has the tool how to connect to the people – not alone, but with others supporting you. Before when I conducted bible study, it was more of a monologue, but now there is more interaction and workshop style. My church used to be very small. But now the whole of the house is full!

For those who graduated bible school, it’s a refresher. For those who did not graduate, it’s a big help and challenge.The pastors are really committed to come, because ICM is a place of comfort, to open what it is in their heart, and a place of passion
