Preparing Young People for Christian Service and Leadership
57 Years of Preparing Young People for Christian Service & Leadership
Icthus is a ministry that helps young people living in poor communities throughout Latin America. It is a club-like program for children and youth which builds Christian character, skills, and good habits.
"Bring up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6
"Shyness is no longer part of my life, I learned to tell others about Jesus"

The essence of Icthus
Through Icthus, you help plant the “mustard seed” of God’s love in children’s lives.
Help Icthus Kids & Families Impacted by Covid
Right now, there’s an unimaginable growing hardship in Latin America because of COVID-19. It’s affecting the lives of every Icthus child, their families, churches, and communities.
Kids are isolated and prevented from getting together for Icthus activities and meetings as well as school.
Children from poor families (like this Icthus boy from Honduras) have it much harder. Their parents make a living through day labor and low-paying jobs. Especially now, they have a very hard time putting food on the table.
Your help is needed now more than ever during this difficult time.
KEEPING A MINISTRY GOING FOR 57 YEARS
How has this ministry kept going for so many years? It happened by the grace of the Lord and was shown through the love of those convinced of the importance of guiding young people. It's by the conviction that young people are an important part of God's Kingdom. It's the belief that children and youth can help bring a better future to their communities.
Icthus started on July 20th 1964. Since then more than 120,000 young people have been helped through Icthus. It’s amazing what the Lord has done through Christians in the USA and in Latin America to impact the lives of so many kids over these 57 years!
