ICM Association board has voted and created the Evangelist of the Year Award

For the first time in the 20 plus year history of the Inspirational Country Music Awards (formerly CCMA), has decided to honor a deserving Evangelist each year who is not involved in music. The ICM Faith, Family & Country Association is dedicated to the further development of Christian and Inspirational Country Music. The majority of artists in the industry are also in ministry. They are often on the road for many weeks at a time. They too, need to be ministered to and have someone they can turn to for Spiritual guidance. Therefore, the ICM Association board has voted and created the Evangelist of the Year Award.

This year we were proud to present the recipient of this brand new award. The ICM/Power Source Music 2014 board recently presented Pastor John Collins with the inaugural ‘Evangelist of the Year’ award. Pastor John will be the 2015 official ‘chaplain’ for Power Source and ICM. He will make himself available to members for spiritual guidance, prayer requests, ministry questions and more.   

Pastor John Collins has come alongside the ICM Association in support of the organization and its members. He has become a faithful prayer warrior to everyone involved. He attended his first ICM Week in November of 2014 and was touched by the numerous ministries in the Christian Country Music industry. So many or our artist depend on Churches, Pastors and Evangelists to book them and get the message out to the world. This past year, we were fortunate to be introduced to a man with a calling and a gift to Evangelize. We have now gotten to know Pastor John and have witnessed his heart, learned of his vision and his willingness to preach the truth and deliver the message of the Cross.

In the days and months ahead you will be hearing, reading and learning about Pastor John’s ministry and outreach. This award is different than all of our other awards as it is the first combination award of Power Source Magazine and the ICM.  This means this award will be used to advance Power Source Magazine and the Inspirational Country Music Association.
