ICOF
Established in 1932
Dr. Stephen R. Barnhart, ICOF Diplomat
What a journey God has taken us through in the last few years. Never would we have imagined that the International Circle of Faith (ICOF) would become a global fellowship of apostolic leaders! The question, both verbalized and non-verbal is, “What is the International Circle of Faith?”
The International Circle of Faith (ICOF) is a 21st-century movement of God, pursuing the restoration and continuation of the original apostolic message, authority, power, and anointing. ICOF has united ministers and ministries all around the world. Our goal is Unity – not further division.
Our purpose is to Unite Anointed Kingdom Minded New Testament ministers fulfilling the prayer Jesus prayed for the Church that we would all be One.
At International Circle of Faith, we believe that every person has the power to create change and make a difference in the world. Our mission is to support and encourage people of faith from all walks of life to reach their full potential as leaders and followers of Christ. By bringing together anointed kingdom-minded leaders, we seek to create a unified body of believers with a shared vision and purpose. We invite you to join us on our mission to bring the gospel of Jesus to the entire world.
What is ICOF?
The ICOF is pastors working from sun up to sun down (and perhaps longer) laboring in their field of labor, sharing the gospel, and doing the important things to make a difference in people‘s lives. The ICOF is a place where women have the freedom to minister in their God-called assignments without fear of reprisal. ICOF is ministers working together, ministers working with government, ministers working with the medical profession to make a difference, and ministers working with the military
Please take a look at the following page and see if ICOF may be a fit for you.
