A Message from India

It has been reported that Charles Finney, native missionary in Chennai, India was murdered last Friday, January 8th. It appears two boys from the orphanage he had begun are being held in custody for this crime which is still under investigation. Charles came to ICOM in Atlanta in 2011 and has been to ICOM since then, including Richmond last year. Our prayers are with him and his family.

We also received notice from the Missions Network, that John Spratt, long-term missionary in Honduras passed away this morning, Jan. 15. We hope to get more details about this soon.

ICOM Office Phones
If you tried to call us the last 2 weeks, our office phone system was not working. They are now back up and running! We still have an issue with our FAX line (#2467). Our phone company is working on it still. We apologize for any convenience. If you have something that you need to get to us, if you could scan it in and send it in an email, that would be the best alternative at this point.
