International Church of Bangkok, Outreach

Outreach at ICB means reaching out beyond the ICB community
as instruments of Christ's love to bless others.

Through a firstfruits approach of giving, ten percent from our weekly offerings is designated to support ministries and organizations, especially as they are focused on the needs of people in Thailand. This year we expect to give more than 720,000 baht (or $18,000 USD) directly to our outreach partners.

Members may contribute directly, a 100 percent donation, to any month's outreach partner by contributing through our famous "purple pail" or our pink "Outreach" envelopes.

Each month you can read about our outreach partner in more detail in Insight / Outlook.

Outreach contributions have supported the following projects in recent months:

Bangkok Institue of Theology. BIT supports students being trained to serve Christ in various ministries in Thailand and around the world.
Mercy House in Pranburi. Mercy House provides a stable home for children of mostly Karen refugee families. Life skills, advocacy and Christian Education are all integral parts of the ministry.
Prachakittisuk Church. Located near Chiang Rai and founded and directed by Pastor Sirirat Pusurinkham, the Prachakittisuk Church ministers with some of God's most vulnerable children.
Christian Care Foundation for Children with Disabilities. CCD is an organization that works in response to the needs of children at the Public Welfare Home at Pakkred just north of Bangkok.
Concordia BangNa Slum Community Project. This ministry is to children and families in the BangNa area of Bangkok. .
The Kwai River Christian Hospital. This hopital provides quality medical services to many many people who otherwise would not have access to modern medicine.
