Prayer Request

Please support us in prayer. The Lord has been leading us into the villages and towns surrounding Kanchipuram District. There is a hunger and thirst in the people from the few churches there and also oppurtunities to open new churches. We would be greatly blessed to know that you are supporting us. Should the Lord, also touch your heart to financially support this ministry please get in touch with us at iciuniversitymdrs@gmail.com.

The Hand of God upon ICI University :

According to the promise of God, He has been expanding our terristories through invitations from various pastors at the Tamil District Council of SIAG Conference at Madurai in the second week of July, 2007. Invitations have been received by pastors from Kerela and Karnataka to the Glory of God.

Invitations have also been received from many of the Tamil District Presbyters to their section meetings. The plan is to go to atleast four sections every month through our four Zonal Co-ordinators viz. Leo Bastian, Godfrey Evans, R. Ramesh Daniel. Nagapattinam Section and Cuddalore Section have already been contacted and we will be visiting their section meetings at Kuttallam (Nagai Section) and Kurinjipadi (Cuddalore Section).

We are very happy to join with the pastors to help in Discipleship and Evangelism to enable every member in every church to become a soul winner for Jesus, reaching out to every community around their homes and churches.

May the Holy Spirit move in a might way in every district of Tamilnadu and India to deliver the people from the bondage of Satan. To God be the glory! honor! and praise!

FISHERMEN MINISTRY

MINISTRY OUTREACH AT PULICAT (FISHERMAN’S VILLAGE)

ICI Madras Team in front of the Pulicat church. From Left to right: Daniel Raj, Leo Bastian, Ps.Bosco, Noel Pentony, Ramesh Daniel and Godfrey Evans.

ICI Team with the Ps.Bosco’s family and believers of the church praying in the open ground which was dedicated. In the background is seen the cemented of the old church which was washed away in the sunami. In the foreground on the left of the photograph is seen the steel rods for the pillar of the new church which is to be built as the Lord provides.

We have 34 E&D Students at this church who are eager to not only study the word of God but also to show the love of Jesus Christ to their neighbours.

There are about 60 families who live in Pulicat and who are simple and God fearing people. The families consisting of 4 to 8 members all stay in one hut. The government has given them a brick walled 10’x10’ and with an asbestos roof shelter seen in the background (after they had lost every thing in the sunami) . The family seen in the picture use the brick structure for storage and prefer to live in the hut which is much cooler.

All the families are fisherfolk and depend on the sea for a living. Many of them a hand to mouth existence. Sometimes the men are gone for a week or ten days at a time in order to bring a catch which they can sell to the local market.
