International Missionary Council

The International Missionary Council (IMC), founded in 1921, was an organization that brought together Christian leaders and groups worldwide to coordinate and promote missionary work and cross-cultural Christian efforts. Its goal was to facilitate global collaboration, share resources, and address social issues through faith-based initiatives. The IMC aimed to foster unity among different Christian denominations, encourage humanitarian outreach, and support the growth of Christianity internationally. It played a significant role in shaping modern global mission strategies until it was integrated into the World Council of Churches in 1961.
