Part of the proceedings read as follows:

ICM Inc:

Do you believe in your heart that you have been led by the Spirit of God to engage in this work and to assume its responsibilities?

Response: I do, so help me God.

Will you endeavor to perform faithfully the duties of an officer in ICM Java in the service of our Lord?

Will you be diligent in prayer, in the reading of the Holy Scriptures, and in such studies as will help you in the knowledge of God and his Kingdom?

Will you strive so to live that the power of God may be manifest in your life, enabling you to convey the blessed sense of God’s presence to those you would serve?

Will be loyal to ICM and accept the authority of those to whom ICM has committed the direction of your work?

 Response: I will, so help me God.

Charge to the Board :

We rejoice to recognise you as officers of International Christian Mission, Java and we thank God that you have dedicated your lives in His service through ICM in Java and throughout Indonesia and the world.

We shall follow you with our prayers; we shall support your work with our gifts; and together we shall strive to minister to the needs of our fellow men and to bring to them the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

David Vardy who is also our Chairman of ICM United Kingdom gave a strong and anointed message from 1 Corinthians 16:9 “… a great door for effective work has opened to me and there are many who oppose me”.

 A summary of his text reads as follows:

 Paul was writing from Ephesus. Paul had wanted to go to Corinth but recognised there was a greater need to stay in Ephesus. Every step of his life was ordered by God.  He especially wanted to take advantage of the open door in Ephesus.
