Mid-year 2014 brings anticipation of our ICOC Leadership Conference in Singapore with the opportunity to learn and connect with more of our Asian brothers and sisters as well as leaders from around the world. The Elders committee has been busy in our pursuit of appointing elders and strengthening elderships among our Churches. The Milan Church appointed the first Italian Elders among ICOC churches and other European churches will follow soon. It is good to see elderships increasing outside of the USA as more men become qualified around the world.
