ICOC Cares reflects a simple conviction: faith shows in how people care for others. The outreach puts God\u2019s love into action in practical ways that meet people where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through Envolve, the church launched the campaign and, on March 22, partnered with HOPEww Philippines for a Geo Service Day, serving two HOPE centers in <\/strong>Payatas and Baseco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disciples, families, and partners came together and gave what they could. The campaign raised <\/strong>nearly $3,000 in cash and in-kind donations, with support from individuals, the ICOC church, and partners such as NSC Trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These provided hygiene kits, medicines, and necessities for HOPEww Baseco, and school supplies and medicines for HOPEww Payatas. A total of 188 children received support, with 113 in Baseco and 75 in Payatas.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

More than giving, the outreach focused on being present. Volunteers sat with the children, shared meals, led arts and learning activities, and made space for play, connection, and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 135 volunteers served, 75 from the Northeast Region and 60 from the Southwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICOC Cares continues as a church-wide movement\u00a0rooted in the belief that consistent, collective action expresses the Gospel. As written in\u00a0Hebrews 13:16: “Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the church serves together, love becomes visible, and hope becomes real.<\/strong> The mission goes beyond telling people that God cares; it shows them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
