Born in
a student convention in Charalkunnu, Kerala, in 1980, ICPF has its
roots in the Full Gospel student camps held since 1973. To begin with
there were only a handful of voluntary workers and a few campus prayer
cells. In response to the tireless labour of scores of prayers and
sacrificial giving of God's Children, God protected it and made it grow
and spread its wings over eleven states viz. Punjab , Gujarat , New
Delhi , West Bengal , Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra . Andhra
Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, with more than 80 staff
workers and more than 500 campus units.
During
the past years through its various activities thousands of students
could be contacted with the saving knowledge of God's Grace and
hundreds were rescued from the darkness of sin.
ICPF has social concerns too.
Through its Educational and Marriage Fund (EMF) many deserving students
are being assisted financially to pursue and complete their education
Also financial assistance for marriage is provided to the deserving.
