The International Care Ministries Foundation Incorporated


Today is the day that International Care Ministries Foundation Incorporated in Circuit 6 having the Christmas and Thanksgiving Party Celebration.

Circuit 6 is one of the circuits under ICMFI functioning in Upper Valley Area which the members are different Pastors of different denominations. Every second Tuesday of the month all members are encourage to attend in the fellowship, learning in the workshop about the experiences and the things to do to improve each ministry as Pastor and awareness on what to do when there is an accident and emergency.

Me and my wife are already certified members since 2012. I heard about this ministry a long time ago, but we have no chance to join because its system was not to allow pastors to become members unless they will undergo in the seminars. We attempted to invite them to conduct a seminar in our town, but they require no less than 40 Pastors in attendance in which we were not able provide because in all, just only more than 20 active pastors we can expect to attend in this seminar from our town.


Three years ago, its system was changed. They were forming a fellowship like I said above in every area which estimated to have at least 100 members. So the circuit 6 was formed involving of four towns - Banga, Surallah, Santo Nino and Norallah, South Cotabato.

The fellowship is open to all pastors; members or not members, but if a pastor wanted to become a certified member, he should have to attend three successive meetings. Actually the fellowship is called Thrive Meeting, in which the food and snacks are provided by the organization.

The Thrive Meetings will rotate every second Tuesday in four towns hosted by different churches. The obligations of the host is to provide the place, utensils and sound system. The fellowship will start at around 9 AM and will end at 3 PM. The good thing about this system is you can meet new friends and that relationship will be developed if you will continue to attend in the next meetings.

The regular attendance as I have observed during the Thrive Meetings is between 60 to 100 Pastors - in circuit 6 only, although there are many Pastors in Upper Valley area in the Evangelical circles, many are not able to join for the reason that some denominations have their own activities during that schedule.

Another good thing is after the meeting/fellowship each one will receive the Mana Pacts at least three pacts that content of rice with mixed minerals. Also sometimes each one will receive 50 pesos for transportation.

Mabuhay ICMFI...!
