Some of these nations include Burundi, Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Zambia, South Africa, Malawi, Middle Eastern Countries, India, Columbia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, South Korea, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Mexico, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and the United States.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Please continue to pray for us as we reach out to equip ICOC leaders around the world.
