HAPPY BIRTHDAY

There are at least two birthdays all of us can celebrate this month. One is for the USA. The other is for the Icthus International Family. Because of your interest, prayers, and support in helping children, we consider you a member of this Family.

So, we want to thank you and invite you to join the birthday celebration!

You may be surprised that our Icthus Family is 46 years old! The birth date was July 20th, 1964. To help you remember the day, we hope you will attach the enclosed sicker to your calendar.

The Icthus Family birthday is Tuesday, July 20th. In Guatemala, on that day in 1964, missionary John Shackelford gave Don Weisbrod the challenge of my life. John urged him to use his experience, talents and resources to help churches reach children. Many people have joined in this ministry to make it possible.  Today this is still the challenge of Icthus for you and all of us involved in the Icthus Family.

Will you join me this month in celebrating the birthday of Icthus by marking your calendar, by praying, and by helping more children have this ministry?

The Importance of Icthus Manuals

MANUAL PRINTING PROJECT

We are almost finished revising the manuals for the Icthus Legion Program for 10 to 14 year olds. To print them will require at least $5,000. This will provide for the children and guides in existing groups as well as new ones.

Since December, $3,918 has been raised. We are praying that Icthus friends will help accomplish this project within 2 months.  Read full story.
