The Benintendis became the pastor again in September 2001 and further expanded the ministries to include the Indian fellowship. It was at this time that ICA, Macao was pioneered by Rev Olinto de Oliveira with the assistance of ICA, Hong Kong.

In 2008, Rev Edmound and Yvonne Teo became the first non-missionary pastor of ICA. “Expectation precedes blessings” is one of his principles. The church was called to fast and pray for 40 days each year. As the church celebrated her 35th anniversary (2009), he called on the church to renew her relationship with God, each other and the lost. The ministries expanded to more than 50, cell groups to more than 60 and five new language ministries were started – Nepali, Putonghua, Brazilian, Tamil and Hindi. The staff grew to over 60 strong with the pastoral team enlarged to include many homegrown leaders. The church expanded to include two other facilities and its office to include the second floor at Marble Road. Today, each week the church provides over 35 worship services in 12 different languages at 7 different locations all over Hong Kong. Many special guests, including some of the world’s biggest and most well-known pastors, evangelists, and spiritual leaders ministered at ICA; Dr Jack Hayford, Dr William Wilson, Dr Kenneth Ulmer, Dr Yonggi Cho, Francis Chan, Dr Lee Young-hoon, Dr Heidi Baker, Dr Ajith Fernando, Dr David Mohan, Dr Gwen Shaw, Nathan Morris, Dr Os Guinness, Dr John Lennox, Dr Kay Arthur and many others. Rev Teo also had the privilege to minister at Yoido Full Gospel on November, 2013. At the recent 40th anniversary (2013) a book on the history of the church, “Ordinary People, Extraordinary God” was put together to commemorate the rich heritage of the church.

In 2011, we held our first charity carnival called 1 PEOPLE 1 CITY (1P1C). 1P1C is the international community coming together and celebrating our diverse culture in Hong Kong and it is where we unite with community leaders including government officials and consul generals, NGOs and corporations to give back to the city we love by raising funds to help those less fortunate and in need. Products and services are donated by both corporate and private sponsors and all proceeds go toward the cause (beneficiary) of the event. The first 1P1C raised HK$600,000 for 5 grass-roots charities. The second one in 2012 raised HK$1 million for one of the poorest districts in Hong Kong, Tin Shui Wai district. The third one is being held in May 2016 where we hope to raise HK$1.5 million to help fight human-trafficking in Hong Kong and Asia. On top of the fund raising, the event has non-stop live performances, gourmet food, games for all ages, bargain bazaar, and celebrity appearances.

In 2016, we held the pioneering conference called Global Church Conference. Nearly 300 International church pastors and leaders from all over the world assembled at ICA to unite and be in the vanguard of this movement, “A Global Church for a Global World.” The 4-Day conference was packed with keynote speakers including Dr. Os Guinness, and Dr. Rodney Woo, as well as workshops and network gatherings.

Today, ICA is a growing and dynamic church in Hong Kong with a vision to reach the generations and releasing them into the nations. All glory to Jesus!
