Dear Donors and Sponsors:

Greetings in Christ!

Praise God for everything!

ICCP life is a life of wondrous graces and providences! God has been so gracious!  At the right time, He gives provisions to ICCP through the donors and sponsors like you. Hence, we, at ICCP would like to send you a poem. Hope you’ll like it.

The Heart Throbs of ICCP

God is so good and so you’re good!

God is so loving and so are you!

He’s so sweet and kind as can be seen in you!

Wondrously He watches and gives provisions through you!

When crisis comes, ICCP is not left behind.

To suffice the need, He knows, He shows, He makes the ways!

To perform His ministry, ICCP works, ICCP serves, ICCP prays

With busy hands and longing hearts ICCP goes on hand in hand with the Divine.

Life’s battle at ICCP, really hard as can be

Typhoons, illnesses come unexpectedly, yet, we face them unitedly

Caring for children, the burden we share, demands multitasks more than our hands could bear

Think who would help, suddenly you’re there to answer our prayer.

God’s hand is not short as He has promised.

His ears are not deaf as he has portrayed.

His eyes are everywhere.  His lips tell you to come over.

Loving donors you come and to ICCP you commit and share.

And so, with big hearts, we praise and are grateful

Our God, our Creator, our Lord, our Savior, so wonderful!

The grant, the help, the business laid out in full,

As time goes on, ICCP with God, will make it bountiful.

Gratefully yours,

ICC Philippines Foundation, Inc

It’s more fun and blessed when you visit International Children’s Care Philippines (ICCP) a Child Care Facility operated by Seventh Day Adventist  at Floridabalanca, Pampanga, Philippines.

In the morning of September 23, 2015 was a surprise to many of us here at ICCP because the visitors we are waiting in an unknown date arrived unexpectedly. Kathy, Dr. Julie and Kara from Guam who were very supportive of these orphan care services came and donated financial help plus many others.  The help we are praying and waiting for.

They were very happy in their visit at ICCP and before leaving they bought the long awaited ICCP needs. The paints for repainting of cottages roof, the soy beans grinder, materials for the repair of screen windows and a lot more.  Indeed, God answers prayer in so many ways!

We are so thankful for the effort that they shared for the sake of the less fortunate children specially the donation for the hospitalization of one of ICCP kid.

Praise God for people like them who allowed themselves to be a channel of God’s blessing!

We are inviting anyone who would like to experience total happiness and have fun in sharing the entrusted blessing from God. If so, kindly send message to shiningjewelsiccp@gmail.com or visit www.iccpfoundation.org.  Story/Photos by: KimDemagnaong Edited by: Arlene Penascosas                                                          

September 20, 2015 at 10.00 am the group arrived at ICC Philippines. The program started with prayer by Brother Jun Mallorca ICCP Marketing Manager and followed by the inspirational message then the games which the children enjoyed so much. The most awaited was the lucnh sponsored by Christian Couple Circle Pasay City Chapter (CCC).                          

The most exciting was the distribution of shoes and toys. Every kids receive the shoes  including indigent children in the community beside ICCP campus.

Ma’am Keena de Castro who coordinated to Pastor Pedrito G. Magallanes for the visit of the group. They plan to be back by  this coming December 2015.

Last February 25, 2015. Pastor Joshua Castillo and his family from Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP) Academy Silang, Cavite to International Children’s Care Philippines (ICCP) Pampanga to share the birthday celebration of his son to the ICCP kids.  An average of 4 hours long drive just to do feeding and gift giving for the destitute children here in the orphanage. They enjoyed the trip because of their love for the orphan kids.

Pastor said that “I know ICCP because my brother was the first bookkeeper here. He added that this is the application of what we are always talking from the Bible in the writing of Matthew chapter 25.  The practical service for Jesus”.

Sharing of what we have is the actual demonstration of our love to those who are in need. We will just remember what Jesus said “Come who are blessed, inherit the kingdom which I prepare for you because when I was hungry you feed me, when I was naked you clothed me, when I was sick you visited me.

We are inviting everyone to donate for the cause of the orphans who are in need. The poorest among the poor. The very least. You can give directly to ICC Philippines Foundation Inc. Please contact us in this email shiningjewelsiccp@gmail.com.

Last Saturday March 28, 2015 at almost 2 o’clock in the afternoon International Children’s Care Philippines (ICCP) got lots of visitors. They were TAU GAMMA PHI (TRESKELION) fraternity and sorority organization of DE LASALLE STATE UNIVERSITY AND LETRAN Manila Chapter. Their organization conducted Medical Mission and Gift Giving to the Aetas, ICC families, and other indigent families/individuals nearby ICCP campus.
To open their program Sir Jhun Mallorca rendered a prayer. Then, one of their women shared her testimony on how she survived in spite of being sexually abused by her uncle. Although she felt hopeless, still, she continued on living by the grace of God. When she met Jesus she learned that there is one God who loves her. She added that “next year I will take Bachelor of Science in Social Work and fortunately if I finish such course I promise to return to ICCP”. It is such a challenging testimony!
Another lady led the fun games and the crowd enjoyed it so much. People were so busy. The Gift Giving and Medical Mission went on simultaneously. The Tau Gamma Phi group was very happy giving their services and the whole crowd of recipients was very happy, too. Lots of gifts were distributed. Everyone got a packed bag of canned goods, noodles, and set of hygiene needs, toys and clothes. Cavans of rice, sports equipments, baby wipes, milk, 2 wheel chairs and 1 nebulizer were also given. They also gave medicine packs to each patient.
It was really a great blessing to ICCP, the Aetas, and to the whole community as well. Sitio Bucaran praises God for such people with BIG HEARTS. Thus, the ICCP would like to extend her heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the enormous hearts of TAU GAMMA PHI (TRESKELION) led by Mr. Edmund O. Paule, Alumni of TGP for supporting ICCP leading toward the better life of every individual. Keep up your good works, never stop helping. Our Almighty Father guides and blesses your lives, this is our prayer. Amen.
ICCP welcomes anyone who wants to extend a helping hand to change a child’s life toward a better future. Please send message to shiningjewelsiccp@gmail.com.
