Preparing Young People Christian Service and Leadership
THREE COUNTRY PROJECT
VENEZUELA, EL SALVADOR, NICARAGUA
Please pray for travel mercies for Samuel, Ester, and Julieth for their traveles this month to three countries and that this will result in hundreds of children having the Icthus ministry. There are so many children in great need in these countries. Ministry to give them hope and develop Christian character will make a huge difference.
Pray also for the funds needed to cover the trip costs and the work in the next 3 months. Praise the Lord, an Icthus Amiga has pledged a $1,000 matching challenge! She wants to encourage others like you to help. To meet this challenge and provide Icthus to more children, would you be able to help?
Your gift of $25, $50, $100, $200 or more will make a big difference.
October Multiplication of Talents Campaign
Multiply ministry for kids by 3 times with your matching gift this month! During October, country teams in Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua will be raising funds for Icthus. When you give $1 you will encourage a country team to raise a $2 and the result will be $3 for ministry for kids in that country. $30 X 3 = $90 $50 X 3 = $150 $75 X3 = $225 $100 X 3 = $300
Other Ways to Help
55th BIRTHDY CELEBRATION
Would you consider how many kids you can give the birthday gift of Icthus to?
Your birthday gift will help children have character building meetings and activities for 6 months - through the rest of the year.
$15 = 2 Kids will have Icthus until 2020 $30 = 4 Kids will have Icthus
$45 = 6 Kids will have Icthus $75 = ½ Group (groups average 15-20 kids)
The best way to celebrate the 55th year is to help more kids have Icthus.
CAMPERSHIPS - Help a poor kid to have camp experience to help him grow.
Campership for One kid =$25 Camperships for 2 kids = $50
Camperships for 3 kids=$75 Camperships for 4 kids =$100
TRAIN ICTHUS LEADERS
Because of the growth of Icthus there’s a critical need for funds to train guides. Icthus country teams struggle to raise the funds needed to provide training because many of the guides and churches are poor. Scholarships make a big difference. The average cost of a scholarship is just $15 for one guide.
1 guide=$15 4 guides=$60 8 guides=$120 10 guides=$150
14 guides=$210 16 guides=$240 20 guides=$300 40 guides=$600
START A NEW GROUP - Help start groups in more towns in Latin America. The average cost to start a new group is $150. Once started they can last for years.
$50=1/3 of a group $100=2/3 of a group $150=one group $300=two groups
YOU CAN DESIGNATE WHERE TO HELP CHILDREN:
You can write in the Project, Country, or Icthus leader you would like to designate your gift for.
HELP KIDS HAVE A YEAR OF ICTHUS
The kids you help will have activities and meetings for one year so they can learn to love God, love their neighbors, and love themselves.
A whole year of Icthus ministry is just $15 for one child.
Two children=$30 Three children=$45 Four children=$60 Five children=$75
Automatic Monthly Gifts
Help kids have Icthus by giving monthly. Setting up automatic donations through your bank or online makes it easy. Monthly donors are called Padrinos - an endearing Spanish term for God Parent or Sponsor.
A Padrino helps monthly so kids can have the Icthus ministry all year.
Two-thirds Group=$20/mon One Group=$25/mon 1 and 1/5 Groups = $30
Two Groups=$50/mon Three Groups=$75/mon Four Groups=$100/mon
