The Vision
CIC started in 1887 as ’The International Postal & Telegraph Christian Senior Branch’ since then it’s change it’s name twice.
The vision started back in 1875 by a young girl, Miss Annie Hodgkin, who when in Kingston on Thames had a calling to bring the Christian gospel to postmen.
Today’s mission field includes the Post Office and the Royal Mail Group, British Telecom, cable companies, mobile phone companies, TV and media and many other communications organisations.
