The purpose of both IPM and LICM can be stated most concisely as the ministry of evangelism and edification. This takes place at home, abroad and behind prison bars. Our hearts desire is to proclaim liberty to the captives and to point people to the Lord and His word. In order to grow in maturity, wholeness, fruitfulness and Christlikeness, we must be feeding on the truth from God’s word about the Lord Jesus Christ, Who lives in us as our hope of glory (Col 1:27).
