In 1966 missionary Dr. Alton Gould started the first International Child Care Ministries school in Hong Kong. That first school met on a rooftop of a Hong Kong housing project. After visiting India and Africa, Dr. Gould felt a burden to expand to other countries. Today, International Child Care Ministries is changing thousands of lives in 26 countries. That first school in Hong Kong is no longer there, but the children who first attended that school are now able to sponsor children in other countries.

International Child Care Ministries is a child sponsorship initiative serving in 26 countries around the world. We work with Free Methodist Church workers in local settings for high levels of care and accountability.  Through education, meals, and medical care, children in need are given an opportunity for a better life. For just 70 cents a day you can sponsor a child and change the child's life forever!
