An Entire Planet of Stories Worth Telling
#ICCMCongo 🇨🇩️ We’re so grateful Linda Stryker Academy just celebrated their one year anniversary! 💚
Lyrics:
It’s a pleasure to belong to such a wonderful school
Where we are being taught science and how to know God
It’s a pleasure to belong to such a wonderful school
Oh, What a wonderful school!
Linda Stryker Academy
Oh what a wonderful school!
It’s our honor at ICCM to participate in God’s liberating work among His beloved poor and those sometimes referred to as His “cherished missing.” Our focus is on impoverished children.
Some of these children risk being trafficked and literally imprisoned. Our words and actions can protect them from exploitation.
Many children born into poverty have never known anything but oppression. They have no hope of an education, no sense of their own infinite worth, no idea that God could look on them with favor. These children are blind to their own value. When the good news comes with loving actions, it brings sight — their lives are brought into broad daylight, their eyes seeing new possibilities.
The Giving Guide is filled with ways for you to expand ICCM’s positive impact on children. We hope the pictures and projects will capture your imagination, giving new sight to your eyes. Maybe you’ll envision your contribution alleviating children’s medical needs, blessing them with farm animals, preventing trafficking or improving the hostel where they live. Whatever you can give will proclaim good news in all its beautiful and practical expressions.
In Rwandan culture, children with mental disabilities are stigmatized. This program for special kids is one of a very few aimed at bringing out the best in mentally challenged children and teens. Their parents are supported and equipped for their care; students learn life skills and vocational skills (the young man pictured below sewed the shirt he is wearing), and all experience the love of God through caring equipped and devoted staff.
In addition to sponsoring the kids, we want to provide physical therapy equipment, beds, and a van. To donate to this unique project in Rwanda, mark your donation “AMIZERO.”
