Where Does Irish Channel Christian Fellowship Serve and Support Missions?

Updated

Irish Channel Christian Fellowship (ICCF) has trained and sponsored missionaries serving in the New Orleans area and internationally since its founding in 1979. According to the church's own site, its mission fields have included China, India, Haiti, Ghana, Togo, Kenya, Niger Republic, Botswana, Costa Rica, Liberia, Honduras, and other areas of Central America and Southeast Asia.

The Mission Behind the Locations

ICCF states its mission as "Reaching the Lost and Teaching the Saved to Serve." Its international work is not limited to sending people abroad — the church says it has both trained and sponsored missionaries, meaning it takes part in preparation as well as financial or logistical support.

Where ICCF Serves

The site groups its mission footprint into two broad categories:

Category Locations named
Local New Orleans area
International China, India, Haiti, Ghana, Togo, Kenya, Niger Republic, Botswana, Costa Rica, Liberia, Honduras, and other areas of Central America and Southeast Asia

The list spans West Africa (Ghana, Togo, Liberia), East Africa (Kenya), Southern Africa (Botswana), the Sahel (Niger Republic), South Asia (India), East Asia (China), the Caribbean (Haiti), and Central America (Costa Rica, Honduras, plus unspecified others).

Local Service Alongside Missions

ICCF's community involvement in New Orleans is not separate from its mission identity. The church says it has run afterschool tutoring and summer programs for youth in the community since its beginning — work that sits alongside its missionary sponsorship rather than behind it.

How to Read This List

A few practical points if you are evaluating ICCF's reach:

  • The list is the church's own account. It describes fields where ICCF has trained or sponsored missionaries, not necessarily current, ongoing placements at every location.
  • "Other areas" is open-ended. Central America and Southeast Asia are named as regions without a complete country list, so the named countries are not the full extent of the work described.
  • Local and global are connected. The same mission statement covers both the New Orleans programs and the overseas fields.

If you want current details — which missionaries are active now, or how to support a specific field — the church's own site is the place to check, since the summary above reflects what ICCF has published about its history and mission scope.
