Big Moments & Growing Commitment
ICCON 25 also included our biggest Partner Church Breakfast yet—40+ leaders from 20 churches gathered, including First Baptist Orlando, who pledged $100K to help fuel this work.
These churches are excited to partner with you to elevate Great Commission accomplishment across the nation. We're inviting you to join them in:
Praying about a financial contribution this year
Praying for the Ones who will come to know Jesus through our work together
What’s Next
Here’s where we’re headed next:
Rolling out OneLife tools this fall—starting with relational evangelism and growing into stewardship of time and money
Building on our marketing and sales momentum
Strengthening relationships with leaders at the Billy Graham Center, Alpha USA, the Palau ministry, and more
Continuing strong growth in our core ministry, which is up 12% over our record year in 2022
Please Join Us in Prayer
Would you join us in praying for:
Congregants actively engaging in relational evangelism

More churches to join in this Kingdom work
And finally, we’d love for you to hear from a senior pastor of a 100-year-old church who’s been deeply impacted by this work:
Thank you again for your belief in the local church and for partnering with us in this mission.
For the One who does not yet know Jesus,
Doug Parks
Co-founder, Intentional Churches
