Who We Are
Global International Church Network (Globalicn) is a relational connection for a global network of international churches.
The community gained by establishing relational connections between international churches facilitates ministry initiatives, encourages synergy, and multiplies impact.
Together, we celebrate our significant diversity, are committed to the strategic development of our member churches and are called to make a spiritual difference in our international communities.
The Global International Church Network works to see international churches across the world connect relationally.
Our vision is to:
We believe that through connection, we will form a synergy that inspires regional development, influences national initiatives, and ultimately impacts international churches on a local level.
The creation of the Global International Church Network (Globalicn) was inspired by the success of the Fellowship of European International Churches (FEIC), which was initiated in 2004 by Terry and Ruthanne Hoggard.
After a decade of development and growth, news of this growing relational network was spreading. FEIC members were hearing from fellow international church pastors and leaders from around the world who sought to have a similar relational community in their regions. And international church pastors and leaders from other regions were attending the annual FEIC Summit in October to engage and learn.
During the 2011 FEIC Summit, the idea for a global relational connection began to surface. Clearly, God was speaking.
Coming away from the 2011 Summit, FEIC Founder Terry Hoggard felt that God was leading in the creation of a global network to connect international churches relationally.
Since then, joining with the Assemblies of God World Mission, a development team has worked to establish the foundation and functionality of Globalicn as well as to serve as a representative voice for the six global regions within the network.
Today, the Hoggards serve as relational leaders of this network, and travel extensively encouraging international church pastors, leadership, and their congregations.
