 | The Eye Of The Nightmare Recent events in the DR Congo, from even the first days of this new year, continue to show just how important is your continuing support of “His Kids.” Our Patmos Children's Village is located in the eastern region of the DR Congo, one of the most chaotic and evil-infested places on the face of the planet. Yet, at Patmos, life for our kids is as close to normal as one could expect when living within the chaotic, unstable nightmare that surrounds our project. Because of you and your support our kids can live within the calm that lies at the eye of the nightmare. Jeffrey Gettleman is the New York Times bureau chief for East Africa and a recent recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on East Africa. Mr. Gettleman has written an excellent article for the NY Times that vividly describes the maelstrom that is that DR Congo. This article is a personal window through which you will be able to see why your support is so vital to “His Kids.” You really are truly, daily, saving lives. |

A Special Message From India Dear Friends: As you celebrate this Christmas may our Lord’s birth be experienced in your hearts and bring you joy and hope for eternal bliss. Soon we will enter into another New Year, 2013. May the Lord guide and bless every step that you take and every decision you make. God had blessed Sweet Home in many ways. My heart is filled with gratitude as I look back on what our children have accomplished by the grace of God. One boy completed Masters in Biotechnology, and received a medal for his outstanding performance, four have graduated with B.Sc. Degree in Nursing and nine have graduated from Academy. They certainly made me proud. I wish to take this opportunity to thank each one of you for your great support and encouragement. “And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.” Isaiah 58:11 With best wishes, |

None of this work would be possible without those who have committed their efforts to saving and changing the lives of “His Kids.” The children of ICC want to thank you from the bottom of their hearts for making a difference in their lives.
Occasionally when we call for funds for a specific need we receive more in donations than we requested. In those instances when we have received more money than we solicited, those funds will be placed in “Alcyon’s Angel Fund.” |
