Very excited about this! ICC is launching our first "Special Blessings" campaign to give you the ability to touch the persecuted in a more tangible way.
This year, we're giving you the opportunity to fill shoeboxes full of gifts for our orphans from Burma; to give gifts to Iraqi refugees who have been forced to flee their homes; to write letters to the wives of martyed pastors in Nigeria, and to write letters to Christians who lost their homes in Gojra, Pakistan.
*Bonus!* We're going to need a lot of help to make this as effective as possible, so we're looking for volunteers. Local and other US opportunities available. Give us a call (1-800-ICC-5441) or e-mail us (icc@persecution.org) if you're interested.
This is also a great opportunity for churches to adopt one of the projects to get their congregation aware and involved with the persecuted church.
