As part of the ICOM experience this year, we’re hosting a powerful one-day gathering designed for missionaries, church leaders, disciple makers, and everyday Christians who want to go deeper in living out Jesus’ model for multiplying disciples.
Join us the day before ICOM begins for a special pre-conference event driven not just by movement—but by the methods of Jesus. Together, we’ll be re-centered on solid biblical theology that is laser-focused on disciple making through impactful teaching, meaningful worship, prayer, and connections with others who are committed to carrying out the Great Commission.

This year at ICOM 2025, something special is happening before the main conference even begins.
RENEW.org is partnering with ICOM to bring you Driven by Disciple Making — a focused, full-day event created specifically for ministers and church leaders who are ready to go deeper into what the Great Commission is really calling us to do.
Held within the Atlanta Convention Center — right where ICOM takes place — this exclusive pre-event puts practical disciple making strategies front and center before ICOM kicks off.
