ICCM in Internet for Christians Newsletter

The International Conference on Computing and Mission (ICCM)  is an annual informal (NO ties allowed!) gathering of women and men who have a common interest in computers and mission. We share a vision of cooperation for effective use of technology bringing the Gospel to every nation.

1998 Theme
This year's theme, "Mission Information Sharing and Communications: The Nervous System of the Body of Christ", focuses on the people, projects and tools that are helping make daily cooperation a reality in global mission efforts.

Our focus is on the community of Christian Technologists. Who are we? What have we accomplished this year? What can we learn from each other, to work more effectively in the year to come? What do we need to know about advances in technology and mission computing opportunities?

At ICCM, we gather for a unique experience of spiritual fellowship, information sharing and vision renewal.

ICCM focuses on building a community of relationships, providing a relaxed forum for people to meet personally and to share ideas, opportunities  and experiences, information and expertise, to help us all better use our God-given gifts and skills in His service.
