We are the International Christian Chamber of Commerce.
We are a people in the marketplace whose “...goals, strategies, and plans become an outward manifestation of an inward walk of faith, releasing the glory of the Lord and the Kingdom of God.”
Our purpose is to inspire, equip and serve Christians to experience a release into a new dimension of faith, hope, love, and freedom in their business and working lives and to better understand our times.
As an International Christian Chamber of Commerce we dedicate ourselves to the service of the Lord Jesus Christ. This means, among other things, that we have a view of God’s YES to:
A biblical understanding of the universal calling to work and the workplace (regardless of sector or function).
Professional industries and their current development, as well as a desired future state of Kingdom implementation and wisdom in each one of them.
Entrepreneurship from a Kingdom perspective and how to combine the walk of faith with professional excellence and integrity in business..
Societal issues and their impact on the Kingdom, and wisdom to navigate.
We are further dedicated to:
Connecting Christians in all industries and professions (private, public and nfp), nationally and globally, to each other in an atmosphere of mutual trust, respect, truth and servitude.
Provide biblical teaching and understanding relating to professional issues, functions, industries, trends etc, what we call “understanding the times”. This includes leading a life of discipleship and a sanctified working life.
Standing in the gap for Israel regarding love, respect, trade, commerce etc, promoting Jesus Christ as the mediator for mutual trust for all ethnic groups.
Does this resonate with you? “ICCC sounds an urgent call to those with eyes to see and ears to hear the call of the times, to cease striving and learn to rely fully on the Lord, as the key for blessing and to rise victoriously above the encroaching tide.”

Why ICCC?
When you choose to become a member of the International Christian Chamber of Commerce, you are not merely paying a fee to get membership benefits. You are deciding to embark on a journey of “crossing over” in your personal and professional life. We believe there is something in ICCC:s vision which has stirred your heart, and which you have identified as essential to your future walk of faith. We strongly believe in the phrase “what's in me for this”, rather than the well-known opposite: “what’s in it for me”. The membership fee is not simply your ticket to membership benefits, but a first step to commit to the vision set out by our founder J. Gunnar Olson, 40 years ago.
