About International Christian Concern
International Christian Concern is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization based in Washington, DC and dedicated to serving some 200 million suffering believers around the world through assistance, advocacy, and awareness.
Assistance
We bandage the wounds of victims, caring for the wives and children of martyred pastors and rebuilding communities when attacked. We build the Church by broadcasting the Gospel, delivering Bibles, training pastors, and installing Bible presses in the most hostile areas of the world.
Advocacy
ICC seeks to influence policies and legislation that touch the daily lives of the persecuted. Through our work with U.S. legislators and the State Department, we help free prisoners and push back against countries that violate religious freedom and persecute Christians.
Awareness
Many Christians are not aware of persecution because the press largely ignores it. ICC awakens the Church and the world to the very real sufferings of God’s children via daily news updates, social media, investigative reporting, and our monthly magazine, Persecution.

This is an official post from the leadership of International Christian Concern and is intended to provide a constructive response to the comments made in previous reviews. We’re grateful for the honesty in the comments and appreciate the perspective given in each review.
We value all the employees of ICC and recognize their devotion and sacrificial service to ICC’s mission and vision. As such, the leadership of ICC is committed to rebuilding and reshaping a strong culture and by installing stronger leadership and management methods. We are engaging our team to better understand the blind spots and areas of weakness and committing to a process to reform our organizational dynamics and cultural climate.
To do so, all current employees (and some former) were invited to participate in an anonymous culture survey to voice their frustrations. The report was assessed and is currently being translated into an action plan to revive and reshape ICC’s culture.
It is important to understand that ICC has gone through a significant era of growth as an organization over the last 15 years. While all organizations going through a phase of growth experience frustrations in keeping up with changes (in terms of systems, culture, and organizational development), it takes time for systems to adjust to a new level of operation. Any leader with any real leadership experience in a large organization will realize that conflict and tension happen in any context (period of growth or not), and dealing with that conflict in a healthy way separates complacent leaders from those that take decisive action. ICC’s leaders are choosing to act.
ICC leadership genuinely cares not only for its mission but for the people who work to accomplish it every day. And through the process of reform at ICC, the organization is committing to regularly listening to employees, empowering them, and encouraging them to discover and develop their unique gifts, talents, and abilities to serve the mission of our organization. In that spirit, ICC will prioritize its people by developing a culture of health, strong collegiality, and to doing life together.
Going forward, it is our hope to attract passionate people looking to have an impact in the world by expanding international religious freedom. We want talented, passionate, dedicated and committed people on the team. We want to hire people who see the real value of our work and want to grow as leaders in our field.
Above all, we want people to have an excellent experience at ICC where they are encouraged to grow professionally, personally and spiritually. We’re sorry that others have not enjoyed working here and we will ensure that others in the future will have a much better and fulfilling experience.
