Pastor Lucas's desire to "win the lost at any cost" and his "global vision" both stem from the sound teachings of his late beloved pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston,Texas: Rev. John Osteen.Today, Pastor Lucas fulfills a tri-fold passion: to give salvation through Jesus Christ to the lost, to reach the world via the Internet, and to train others to minister!
In 1988, the Lord gave Pastor Lucas a vision of Christians networked together, so Pastor Lucas founded International Christian Network of Christians (ICNC), with a goal of instilling in people a heart to "Reach the Hurting and the Lost."
At the time, "networking" was not a common term, and Pastor Lucas had a different idea of how it was going to work. But as the Lord guided, the "network" became a network spreading out over the internet. It has had an evangelistic focus from its inception, and now this network of Christians has grown from a handful of people to hundreds of thousands worldwide. The number of visitors to the website (www.icnc.org) is approaching 3 million, and more than 50,000 people worldwide call ICNC their "church home." Family Bible Church in Sugar Land, Texas, was founded as the local focus of ICNC.
Pastor Lucas continues to preach "change of heart and lifestyle because of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ" as the core of Christianity. His messages are to-the-point, straight from the Bible, backed up with lots of Scripture, easily understood, and life-changing.
As one couple said, "You are always very aware that Pastor Lucas truly hears from the Lord and makes the message of the Gospel easy to understand. He doesn't condemn; he shines the light of God's Word into your heart and you see for yourself what you need to change in your life. We always leave uplifted and can't wait to see what God will do at the next service."
Pastor Lucas is truly a man called for this time.
