Thanksgiving is a time for counting our blessings and expressing gratitude to God for His goodness. It’s also a time for family gatherings, food, and fellowship.
To orphan children who are without home and family, there is little for which to be thankful. That is why ICC’s ministry to orphan children is so important. Your support helps to provide the basics of care that they need: food, shelter, and education.
Thousands of children have experienced the blessing of sharing meals around an ICC table. One such child is Poornima who grew up at the Sweet Home Children’s Village in India.
Poornima came to Sweet Home in December of 1999 after being abandoned by her parents. She was only five weeks old when she arrived and was welcomed into the ICC family and given a place within a loving home. This is where Poornima grew up and learned to be responsible at home and at school. She learned about her Heavenly Father and prepared herself for a life of service.
Poornima received her elementary and secondary education at Flaiz Adventist School and College and then went on to earn her degree in nursing. She is currently serving as a nurse and is happy to be treating sick people and helping them to heal.
Recently, Poornima shared a video testimony where she expressed her gratitude. Poornima said, “I want to thank God for being with me throughout my journey.” She recognized the prayers and support of her ICC family and the help of her sponsors. These helped enable her to complete her preparation to become a nurse.
Thank you for the part you play in helping to transform the lives of children like Poornima.
