The Mission Room Podcast is your place for information, impact and innovation for local and global missions.

You will come away from these episodes feeling inspired and challenged to engage in God’s global Church.

Our goal is to bring awareness to God’s People about making disciples in a cross cultural context.

This show will incorporate classical foundations of missions into modern outlets, lift up best practices and inspire you to see how you can win the world for Christ.

Part 1 of 2 - For such a busy organization, ICOM is run by only 8 people! ICOM is blessed to have eight great staff members who are so intentional with their roles - not only within the ICOM community, but in their families, churches and circles of influence. We are excited to introduce you to them and let you hear their hearts for the Kingdom of God!

Part 1 of this "Behind the Scenes" episode will feature Operations Coordinator, Lori Weaver and ICOM Kids Coordinator, Crystal Robinson.

Most people don’t know that ICOM is more than just an annual conference. There are so many ministries and extensions of mission work under the ICOM umbrella. Today we’ll be looking at 3 of the main branches of ICOM Mission Services. We’ll be talking with Jenny Empson, Executive Director of Tower Accounting and Chris Irwin, Executive Director of EnterMission.

Both of these ministries are vital to the Kingdom and the work of ICOM. We are excited for you to hear their stories and how these organizations are doing the work of the Lord. Let’s get to it!
