Intercede International

Intercede International is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Christians in underprivileged regions around the world. Established in Canada in 1953, it aims to foster, encourage, and strengthen indigenous Christian witness by providing intercessory, spiritual, and material aid to persecuted or marginalized Christian communities. The organization is registered with the Canadian Revenue Agency under the number 130520802RR0001.

Mission

Intercede International focuses on establishing a New Testament witness for Jesus Christ among all nations. It achieves this by partnering with more than 50 indigenous missions worldwide, offering a comprehensive range of initiatives that include evangelism, educational programs, relief efforts, and development projects. Additionally, it emphasizes outreach to aboriginal and refugee communities in Canada.

Activities

The organization's activities are centered on empowering local Christians to lead their own missions and projects, ensuring that interventions are culturally relevant and sustainable. This approach supports the development of self-sufficient, indigenous Christian movements that can independently spread the Christian message within their communities.

Partnerships

As part of its mission, Intercede International collaborates with fellow believers across Canada and numerous other countries. This collaboration underlines its commitment to a unified evangelical Christian faith, facilitating a broader impact through collective efforts.

Affiliations

Intercede International is a member of the Canadian Council of Christian Charities (CCCC), indicating its commitment to transparency, accountability, and ethical standards in nonprofit operations.

History

Formerly known as Christian Aid Mission, the organization has undergone a name change to Intercede International. Despite this rebranding, its core mission has remained consistent, reflecting its enduring dedication to supporting Christian communities globally.

American Operations

While Intercede International is based in Canada, it has a sister organization in the United States called Christian Aid Mission. This setup ensures that donations from American supporters can be properly processed for tax purposes through the U.S.-based entity.
