VIDEO SERIES

 

This project consists of a ten-episode video television series, currently being expanded to 20 episodes.

 

In the early 90's, when the Berlin Wall came down, communism sealed the fall of the Soviet Union. At that point, the People's Republic of China began to realize that if communism was not successful in Russia, it would not be successful in China. As a result, China began to selectively allow what they called "Socialistic Capitalism" to emerge.

 

In an effort to break into China, Microsoft and IBM joined together, offering to provide a Television Series on Entrepreneurship due to the high rate of unemployment in China. After lengthy deliberation, the government turned down their offer, and then came to ICCC about a year later asking us to provide the television series. After seeking the Lord and including our network of intercessors, the International Leadership of ICCC made the decision to accept the challenge.

 

This initial series has been a phenomenal success. According to government figures, the series has now been viewed by over 40 Million young people and government figures state that over 1¼ Million small businesses have started since the launch of the series in 1999. The government has now asked for the project to be expanded from ten episodes to thirty episodes. The second ten-part series entitled "Developing A Leading Business" is now complete and God-willing, will be as effective as the first in serving the business community. The Study Guide for the second series is completed and a Teacher's Training Manual has been produced.

 

This project has now expanded well beyond the borders of China. The series is also available in English, Chinese Mandarin, Russian, French, Spanish and Farsi. Translations are underway for Turkish and Arabic.
