ICOC Annual Delegates Meeting Report
100 Delegates
selected by the leadership in their geographic regions from around
the globe met before the International Leadership Conference in

was obvious and inspirational. Churches representing over 90%

committed to the Plan for United Cooperation. Following are some
of the highlights of this year's Delegates Meeting.

Mission" -- Three key lessons on the theme "The
Mission" were delivered by the Chairmen of the Elders, Teachers

Voting Results
A great sign of our increasing health and cooperation, numerous
proposals were thoroughly discussed and prayerfully considered
from February to September of 2010. Input was sought and received
from church leaders around the world including elders, evangelists,
teachers and others. From that input, the final proposals were
brought before the Delegates for a vote.
