Suffering Wives and Children

James tell us that undefiled religion is to "visit orphans and widows in their distress." ICC takes this seriously, especially in regard to the persecuted church. The wives and children of church workers are barely able to care for themselves after a husband or father is imprisoned or martyred. We believe it is the duty of the Church to help them.

After Sharia law was instated in northern Nigeria a decade ago, thousands of Christians have lost their lives in relentless religious clashes, leaving behind countless widows. More than 80 Christians have died just since Christmas 2011.

ICC provided business training program for widows in northern Nigeria who have lost their husbands to persecution. The widows receive seed money, initial training, and ongoing coaching as their businesses progress. Financial independence will keep them from falling prey to poverty and helplessness. Your generous donation provides women with sustainable income to care for themselves and their children.

Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles. James 1:27
