Monthly Testimony Speaker Opportunity

Do you have a story of faith, work and Kingdom impact?

MICCC is looking for Christian leaders, business owners, ministry leaders, authors, educators and practitioners who can encourage and equip our community through a compelling testimony, practical insight and Christ-centered message.

Speaker Screening Criteria

What we consider when selecting speakers.

We review the whole person, the message and the fit. Credentials matter, but clarity, authenticity, audience value and alignment with MICCC’s mission matter just as much.

✝

Christian Testimony

Can you clearly articulate how you became a Christian and how your faith shapes your life, leadership and work?

◎

Clear Message

Do you have one focused message, testimony or idea that an audience can understand, remember and act on?

↗

Audience Value

Will your talk equip, encourage, challenge or inspire Christian business and ministry leaders rather than simply promote you?

🎓

Experience & Learning

Formal education is welcome but not required. We also value meaningful professional experience, ministry leadership and demonstrated expertise.

🎤

Speaking Experience

Previous speaking experience helps us understand your comfort level, audiences served, event types and typical audience size.

✓

Character & References

We ask for a reference who can speak to your character, credibility and suitability for a Christian business audience.

Before You Apply

Come ready to serve, not simply sell.

Strong speaker programs tend to prioritize a clear idea or audience takeaway, credible experience, authentic motivation and a message that stands on its own without becoming a commercial pitch.

  • Be prepared to summarize your talk in one or two clear sentences.
  • Tell us what you want the audience to think, feel or do differently afterward.
  • Disclose your business, book, ministry or product interests honestly.
  • Use personal stories to serve the message — not merely to build a profile.
  • Be prepared to provide references, social links, a headshot and examples of prior speaking when available.
  • MICCC retains final discretion on speaker selection, timing, format and topic fit.
