An ICM partner in India discusses how the physical church building is a catalyst for growth.
“I have seen personally that the church building is a catalyst for growth. I have seen immediate growth wherever we have built a church, immediately there is enormous growth in believers in the area, and out of that daughter churches have been planted. In an area where we have built 1 church, about 50-100 people were there in the beginning 5 years ago. ICM has built church there and now regular attendance 600 people. That is why I like ICM: specific vision fits the needs of Uttar Pradesh where there is massive church planting going on. But the question is how are we going to provide them a building. ICM fits rightly and we are so thankful for ICM vision, great vision, to blanket whole work with building, Uttar Pradesh is just part of that”
