INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE - Canada (Vancouver)

Vision:
They said to me, "Those who survived the exile and are back in the province
are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and
its gates have been burned with fire."
- Nehemiah 1:3
"...Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer
be in disgrace."
- Nehemiah 2:17
As in Nehemiah's time, we believe the heart of our LORD is saying to the Canadian marketplace of business and professional people, government personnel, and educators, "Come stand up in unity, love, and my calling and start rebuilding the spiritual foundation of Canada, so you are no longer in disgrace."
As our country was founded on Him (our Lord Jesus Christ) having dominion from Sea to Sea (Psalm 72:8), come let us seek His call and purpose in the Marketplace of Canada.
ICCC represents a serious and challenging call to the Christian Business World to recognize the times we have entered into and in the light of that recognition, to come into a new dimension of faith available to those who "fear the Lord... speak to one another... and meditate on His Name." (Malachi 3:16)
The vision calls for a world-wide network of committed men & women in business communicating with one other, exchanging ideas, products and services; helping sustain and strengthen each other materially and spiritually; and by the very existence of the vision, proclaiming the rightful authority of Christ to the world at large.
At the heart of the vision of ICCC is God's desire to extend his loving
rule, through his church, into the market places of the world. This requires
business people who seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness
=============

NEWS

The FORERUNNER RADIO NETWORK - First National Christian Radio Service
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 1, 2003 - For Immediate Release -
CRTC approves the first national Christian radio service to be known as The Forerunner Radio Network.
The new radio service will be available on cable and satellite services throughout Canada, and will provide a much needed voice for the Christian community across the country. The network will also provide a venue for Canadian Christian artists who in the past have had to move to the US to pursue a career in music ministry. The Forerunner Radio Network will play a vital part in developing, nurturing Canadian Christian artistic talents and products.
Canadian Christians have been fragmented by denominational and geographic boundaries and by a greater attachment to the US Christian community than the rest of Canada because of a lack of national media in our country. The objectives of the network will be to foster knowledge, relationships and cooperation among the many Christian denominations and ministries across the country. By working with a broad scope of Christians from all denominations the network will provide a venue for interaction between Christian leaders and discovering the unique Christian identity of the Canadian Church.
The FRN programming format can best be described as news and information. The programming mix provides for 40% music, 60% news and information, via discussion programs, teaching, call in shows, biography programs, audio documentaries, interview, drama, regional, national and international news, and live/recorded performances, events and services. The 24 hour 7 day a week service could be described as "CBC with faith". FRN will present programs in a sincere, credible and non religious way that will inspire, intrigue, educate, and entertain Canadians inside and outside the Church
The Network is the vision of Paul and Margaret Weigel of New Hamburg, Ontario (west of Kitchener) with the help of business, media, education, and church leaders.
FRN is looking for independent programmers and ministries from across Canada who have program proposals that fit the news and information format. Regional reporting, interview, and news are a priority. The Forerunner Radio Network will begin broadcasting early in the new year.
