A True Season of Thanksgiving
We have all been so generously blessed. In this season of Thanksgiving, it is appropriate to pause and reflect upon the wonderful gifts and blessings that the Lord has bestowed on us.
At ICF, we are deeply thankful for our supporters — without you, this organization would not exist. We are equally thankful for our network of pastors who have dedicated their lives to this cause. Today, ICF supports 14 missions in Africa and India, each led by highly dedicated indigenous pastors who commit their lives to serving the poor.
Our Pastors: Eyes and Caring Hands in the Community
These pastors identify the greatest needs in their villages and work closely with ICF to request, receive, and distribute life-saving aid. They lead feeding programs, construct orphanages, drill wells, deliver food to remote villages, manage schools and medical clinics, and more. Tirelessly, they meet the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of desperately poor children and families, striving always toward sustainable improvement and self-sufficiency.
Let me introduce you to Bishop George Kasharu and his son Peterson. George has worked with ICF for over 40 years. Beginning his mission in a mud hut, he and his son now make a sustainable difference for tens of thousands of people — through feeding programs, vocational schools, churches, water wells, and agricultural projects.
“Dear Dr. David, When we met in Nairobi, Kenya in 1978, no one could possibly have imagined what we would accomplish. It was truly the beginning of a miracle. I thank God, I thank you, and I thank our generous supporters for 40 years of progress in Uganda.”
— Bishop George Kasharu
Today, George’s son Peterson carries on the mission with the same energy, heart, and faith. In his own words:
After a long drought, crops dried up and families were left with no food. In partnership with ICF, we distributed emergency food to needy families. At the same time, ICF Uganda is promoting long-term food security with improved farming methods and better storage/preservation techniques. Together with our vocational training programs, we are helping thousands of families become self-sufficient.
Please know that every gift, no matter how large or small, is an answer to prayer and an investment in the life of a child. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your continued prayers and support.
Thank you and God Bless,
Dr. David Bruenning
Founder / Int’l Director
