PRAYER REQUEST: ROAD TO THE PROMISED LAND: “THE JERICHO ROAD”
We request your prayers for the Road to the Promised Land which will be called the “JERICHO ROAD”. Anybody who comes through the “Jericho Road” road will be blessed in the name of the Lord through our services to the orphans, imparting quality education through ICMC’s colleges, healing the sick through the St. Patrick’s mission hospital and giving jobs to many people around through the Agriculture project

We request your prayers for the Road to the Promised Land which will be called the “JERICHO ROAD”. Anybody who comes through the “Jericho Road” road will be blessed in the name of the Lord through our services to the orphans, imparting quality We need to buy a piece of land in the middle between the main road and the Promised land, So that we can have our own road and it will be much safer and secure for the children, students, staff, Dr.Jay’s family and our International visitors. By the Grace of God, the land owner is coming forward to negotiate and sell the land to ICMC after a long wait of 20 years. We request you to pray that God moves in the land owner’s heart to sell this piece of property to us in a reasonable & an affordable price. We also request you to please pray the Lord will give us with enough money to purchase this land that we badly need at this time.

Pryangaa

She doesn’t remember her mother dying, but she does her father. She also remembers him saying he’d love her to be a politician. So she’s going for it. She works so hard and has such amazing clarity of ambition and hope…. She has such a sense of the privilege of her education – she nearly didn’t have one. So we pray for Pryangaa, and all the children at the orphanage that their education would be full and varied, preparing them for life….

Vanitha’s Story (from Rev’s Lent in a Tent Blog – see ICMC website)
She’s at the orphanage to work because her husband is violent towards her. She looks after a group of young children, and her own two boys are housed in the boys’ hostel. The terrible truth of the matter is that Vanitha is doing this because the last lady, Vesenthi, is no longer at the orphanage. She’s no longer in this world. Her husband, also violent, burnt her to death with kerosene and killed himself in the process. I met Vasenthi’s newly orphaned son on my last visit….

 

Children of Heaven

We have three children affected with HIV. They contracted the disease at birth and have subsequently lost their parents. These children are taken to a government hospital in Salem city every month for routine check-up and the CD4 count. These children, apart from the routine diet, receive in addition egg, Multi-vitamin tablets, milk with protein powder every day, and Beef twice a week. Special attention is given to them regarding their food and their medication, with counselling given periodically. We are praying to Jesus, who made the lame walk, the blind see and the dead rise, that he will heal these lovely children.
