ICAA Communities

Building Sustainable Communities for Kingdom Impact.

The ICAA vision is to establish a new generation of sustainable, faith-centered communities designed around housing, education, agriculture, renewable energy, entrepreneurship, ministry, media, and community development.

Our first initiative is the development of 51 sustainable communities designed to demonstrate what becomes possible when infrastructure, stewardship, innovation, faith, and community work together.

The Vision

A New Generation of Faith-Centered Communities

ICAA Communities are envisioned as self-sustaining communities where families, entrepreneurs, educators, ministries, businesses, and community organizations can live, build, learn, serve, and create together.

Each community is designed to combine residential infrastructure with education, agriculture, renewable energy, commerce, health and wellness resources, ministry, media, and programs that strengthen families and communities.

51 Communities. One Demonstration of What Is Possible.

The initial campaign is focused on helping fund and develop the first 51 communities — Christian-led, faith-centered, and Kingdom-focused, designed around Christian values and supportive of churches, ministries, Christian education, and faith-based programming.

Community infrastructure

Designed for Sustainable Living

Every ICAA community is planned around the infrastructure that allows people to live, work, learn, and thrive — sustainably and together.

Renewable Energy

Solar-powered community infrastructure designed to reduce dependence on traditional energy systems.

Water Sustainability

Rainwater collection and water-management systems designed to strengthen community resilience.

Food & Agriculture

Organic farms, agricultural operations, and community grocery access designed to strengthen local food systems.

Resilient Infrastructure

Emergency preparedness and disaster-resilience infrastructure incorporated into long-term community planning.

Education

Schools, colleges, training centers, and educational institutions designed to serve children, adults, and future leaders.

Financial Infrastructure

Access to appropriate financial institutions, community financial education, and wealth-building resources.

Transportation & Aviation

Long-term concepts may include transportation infrastructure and private aviation access where appropriate to the specific development.

Media & Broadcasting

Television, radio, digital media, and content-production facilities designed to extend the community’s message and impact globally.

Housing & community development

Housing Designed for Community and Transition

Community development may include a variety of residential models depending on location, zoning, development plans, and local needs.

Family housing
Affordable housing
Transitional housing
Workforce housing
Senior living
Short-term supportive housing
Innovative modular construction
Environmentally conscious building methods

Not every location will include every housing type; each community is planned around the needs of its region.

Commerce & entrepreneurship

Commerce That Creates Opportunity

Community plans may incorporate retail, food, services, entrepreneurship, and commercial spaces that serve residents and create opportunity.

Community Marketplace

Retail, restaurants, services, and local businesses.

Entrepreneur Incubator

Support for entrepreneurs and emerging businesses.

Business Start-Up Opportunities

Potential commercial space, training, mentorship, and community support for qualifying initiatives.

Employment Creation

Developing businesses and infrastructure that create jobs within and around the community.

Farms & food systems

From the Farm to the Community

Food security is a central part of the ICAA community vision. Community agriculture can support local food production, grocery access, entrepreneurship, education, and greater resilience.

Organic farms
Greenhouses
Food distribution
Community grocery stores
Agricultural education
Farm-to-market programs
Food entrepreneurship

Education

Education That Builds Generations

The ICAA vision includes schools, colleges, vocational training, ministry education, and other educational opportunities designed to serve children, adults, and future leaders.

Rendering of a future ICAA educational campus

Proposed

Berth Theological Seminary

The vision for theological education and ministry preparation within the ICAA communities — equipping leaders to serve churches, ministries, and communities with depth and excellence.

Future concept

College-on-a-Cruise

A future educational concept under the ICAA vision, exploring immersive learning experiences beyond the traditional campus.

Educational facilities and programs shown here are part of the ICAA vision and development plan — they are proposed concepts, not currently operating institutions.

Beneficial programs

Programs Designed to Strengthen People and Communities

Beyond infrastructure, ICAA Communities are envisioned around programs that serve people at every stage of life.

Christian business development and entrepreneurship programs
Sports mentorship
Homeless intervention and transitional programs
Theological education
Reentry and rehabilitation support
Natural-health education
Family counseling
Media and journalistic arts
Workforce development
Youth development
Financial literacy
Entrepreneurship
Community education

Where a program involves healthcare, rehabilitation, counseling, or another regulated professional service, those services would be provided through appropriately qualified or licensed providers where required.

PDNTV Studios / Media

A Voice From the Community to the World

The ICAA vision includes television, radio, digital broadcasting, production, and media infrastructure capable of carrying faith-based, educational, business, cultural, and community programming beyond the physical boundaries of the communities themselves.

PDNTV Studios is part of this broader media vision — a broadcast and production foundation designed to give each community a global voice.

Financial Prospectus

50 States + Panama = The First 51 Communities

The long-term initial goal of the ICAA vision is 51 communities — one in each of the 50 United States, plus one international community, with the planned first international location in Panama. This prospectus gives donors, sponsors, foundations, corporate partners, developers, and strategic partners a clearer understanding of the preliminary capital required to develop that vision.

Preliminary Development Estimate

The figures shown below are preliminary planning estimates developed to illustrate the potential scale of the ICAA Sustainable Communities initiative. Actual development costs will vary significantly by location, land acquisition, zoning, infrastructure requirements, construction costs, labor, materials, environmental conditions, community size, final amenities, and project phasing. Final budgets will be established through site-specific feasibility studies, engineering, architecture, contractor bids, and development plans.

Estimated cost per U.S. community

Approximately $310 Million Per Community

This preliminary planning estimate represents a substantial first-phase sustainable community buildout — not every possible future amenity being completed on day one.

Preliminary U.S. Community Development Model

Land Acquisition & Site Control: Planning assumption for approximately 500 acres at an illustrative blended acquisition cost. Actual land costs will vary dramatically by state and market.; $12.5M
Residential Development: Illustrative model: approximately 300 residential units averaging approximately 1,800 square feet at a blended construction assumption around $250/sq. ft. Housing types may include family housing, workforce housing, transitional housing, and senior or supportive housing where appropriate.; $135M
Education & Training Facilities: Approximately 60,000 square feet of facilities that may support a school, college and training programs, vocational education, theological education, and community learning spaces.; $18M
Community Retail, Grocery & Commerce: Approximately 75,000 square feet supporting grocery, retail, restaurants, community services, entrepreneurship, and small-business incubation.; $18.75M
Health, Wellness & Administration: Approximately 30,000 square feet for appropriate health, wellness, counseling, administrative, and community-service facilities.; $9M
Media & Broadcasting Infrastructure: Approximately 25,000 square feet for television production, radio, podcasting, digital media, content production, and community communications — where appropriate, connected to the PDNTV Studios vision.; $8.75M
Agriculture & Food Systems: May include farming infrastructure, greenhouses, irrigation, equipment, storage, food distribution, and farm-to-market infrastructure.; $6M
Solar Microgrid & Energy Storage: Illustrative renewable-energy allowance for a substantial solar-plus-storage system serving community infrastructure. Actual capacity and cost will depend upon engineering, energy loads, utility interconnection, storage requirements, local climate, tax incentives, and final system design.; $15M
Water, Wastewater & Rainwater Systems: May include wells where permitted, water storage, rainwater capture, treatment, wastewater systems, irrigation, and stormwater management.; $8M
Roads, Utilities & Site Infrastructure: May include internal roads, drainage, electrical distribution, communications, site preparation, utility corridors, landscaping, and common infrastructure.; $20M
Resilience & Emergency Infrastructure: May include disaster-resilient facilities, shelters, backup systems, emergency operations resources, and appropriate protective infrastructure.; $6M
Architecture, Engineering, Permitting & Development Services: Includes architecture, engineering, environmental studies, surveying, entitlement, zoning, permitting, development management, and legal and professional services.; $12M

Preliminary Total

Approximately $310 Million Per U.S. Community

The First International Community — Panama

A Proposed International Location

The initial international vision is to establish the 51st ICAA Sustainable Community in Panama, with a preliminary planning target of approximately $250 million.

Panama construction costs can differ materially from the United States, particularly in labor and certain building categories, while imported equipment, renewable-energy systems, infrastructure, land, logistics, and specialized facilities can materially affect total development costs.

Proposed International Location: Panama

This is a long-term development vision, not a single donation campaign target. The initiative may be funded through multiple capital sources and phases.

How the vision can be funded

It Will Take More Than One Type of Partner

The first 51 communities may be supported through a combination of charitable, philanthropic, and development capital sources.

Individual charitable giving
Major gifts
Corporate sponsorships
Foundation grants
Faith-based philanthropy
Land donations
In-kind materials
Renewable-energy partnerships
Construction partnerships
Educational partnerships
Agricultural partnerships
Community-development grants
Program-related investments where appropriate
Institutional development capital
Project-specific financing

Not every funding source is a charitable donation. Donations, sponsorships, grants, and investment or development capital are clearly differentiated, and each is structured appropriately for its purpose.

Fund one piece of a community

Every Community Is Built One Piece at a Time.

A community of this scale is funded piece by piece. Donors and partners can direct their support toward the part of the vision that matters most to them.

Housing & Residential Development
Farm & Food Infrastructure
Solar & Energy Systems
Water Infrastructure
School & Education Facilities
Media & Broadcasting Center
Entrepreneurship & Retail Center
Transitional Housing Programs
Community Health & Wellness
Land Acquisition

Sponsorship categories are illustrative; a single contribution does not necessarily fully fund an entire item unless specifically structured to do so.
