We are a fellowship of prayer. This is
one of IVCF s distinctives. We know
IVCF was born in a student prayer
meeting and we still believe that it will
move forward only on its knees.
Effective prayer might not look easy,
but for IVCF to be used by God
mightily, we need groups of people who
will live out the reality and power of
prayer.
IVCF Philippines today is ministering to sixty
one (61) high school and one hundred ten
(110) college campuses all over the Philippines
in nine regional Units. Currently there are 36
staff workers who are working in these
campuses.

Fellowship (ISCF) ministry in Baguio and in the other
areas of Northern Luzon, with the support of nine (9)
ISCF Counselors, we plan to have an ISCF mini-camp in
April. Details of the camp are still in progress. We hope
to see and identify ten to fifteen (or more, God willing)
High School students who will be committed in joining
the camp and take the challenge to follow and serve
God. We pray that this camp will serve as a catalytic
event for our high school students who will be joining.
The camp also aims to cater to other High School
students outside Baguio like from Pangasinan area.
Pray with us to have an appropriate venue and date
for the camp. We also pray for parents permissions for
the students and more willing partners who would
love to help us in raising the P22,600.00 estimated
camp subsidy. Currently, we have three (3) pioneering
ISCF works namely in Baguio City National High
