iCI Initiatives
iCI Nation Initiative - Kent County Chaplains Association!
At a 2021 iCI Lunch N Learn, Chaplains from 5 different Police Departments met for the first time. After this initial meeting they realized they wanted to stay connected. iCI Nation now coordinates monthly meetings for the chaplains to come together and share challenges, strategies and encouragement. The last meeting was held at Grace Christian University and it was great to see the cities and departments represented. ICi prioritizes connections like these because we believe it will strengthen the Chaplains which will strengthen the police and community they serve….which will Strengthen the City!
10-10 Prayer Initiative
10-10 is the faith arm of the iCI Nation community. (the name comes from the GR Police code 10-10 for “fight in progress”)
We meet bi-monthly for prayer with a variety of West Michigan police departments. Click here for the Wyoming Police dept story.

Police Appreciation Program
Officer - “….It makes us better cops”
Chief- “ There are no words to describe it! No one hates us, yells at us, complains to us…they just want to say thank you. It’s really unbelievable.”
Woman attendee – “It’s nice to thank the police in person and see they’re real people. I did not realize my appreciation would have such a big impact.”
iCI Nation facilitates police involvement for the annual “Thank You to Protectors” event hosted by Resurrection Life Church Women’s Impact group. 200 women from over 10 different churches unify to honor 60 officers from 18 different departments. And,
Each department receives a “Thank You to Our Protectors” banner which
YOU WILL BE INVITED to help me present! Stay Tuned!
