House Fiestas
We are
preparing for a series of simultaneous house
parties (fiestas) across the U.S. in the Fall.
This event will make it easy for those who want
to do something fun to share Icthus with others
and as a result extend help to more children. (Read story ...)

The film “And a Child Shall Lead Them” is based on a true story. It is just one of countless transformational miracles in the lives of children and parents, too.
The film was produced by volunteers (cast & crew) to dramatize what happened when a girl, Gabriela, was invited to Icthus by a friend at school. The Icthus guide visited Gabriela’s home and asked her mother, Isabel, for permission to take her to an Icthus group activity. Gabriela loved the program and decided to invite Christ into her life. She in turn insisted that her mother come to church too. The transformation of healing and hope in the family is a miracle.

Want
to Make Use of Your Talents for Ministry?
(Check Out How Bill & Karlene Cunningham Do It) |
When
Bill was pastor of missions of the La Canada
Presbyterian Church, he and Karlene took a
vision trip to Guatemala in 1989 to participate
in the 25th anniversary of Icthus. There they
participated in a camp for children, met Icthus
leaders at the international conference, and
visited churches and Icthus groups.

Bill and Karlene are a great
example of how people can invest their interests
and talents in missions. By the way, they are
willing to do their Guatemala textile
presentation in other churches.

Child
Focused Mission is Very Strategic
What Others Way |
Ralph Winter Wrote:
"Nothing, no ministry whatsoever, is as
strategic as rescuing children and youth early
enough to transform their whole lives. ... "
Roy Zuks wrote in "Precious in
His Sight,"
“The Bible provides some clear, compelling
answers to these important questions...”
