VISION AND MISSION
INDIA CHRISTIAN BIBLE COLLEGE provides necessary skills and tools to those young men and women who are called by God and committed to serve Christ anywhere they are called. Our goal is to reach the un-reached with special emphasis in reaching the marginalized, and millions of oppressed and suppressed people groups. We uphold the holistic education of our students and that they might be bold enough to face any odd or unforeseen circumstances in their ministry. It is our challenge to transform them through integrated learning in five main areas: Physical Formation, Spiritual Formation, Academic Formation, Ministry Formation, and Practical Formation.

Hospice Program in Chungathara
Meal Kits to Hospice Patients
Hospice Meal Kits is another mission project ICBC has been doing for the past 2 years in the town of Chungathaa, which is 140 miles from the main ICBC campus. We provide meal kits to individuals who are stricken with cancer, on dialysis or have other terminal illnesses. Regardless of their religion, we want to show them the love of Jesus.
James Abraham, and his wife Valsamma, are seeing this work through. They also oversee the work in Gundalpet.
Currently we provide 33 meal kits each month. These kits consists of: rice, dal, rava (cream of wheat) sugar, wheat flour, legumes, garbanzo beans, tea leaves, cooking oil, oats, ragi (millet), and Horlicks (protein powder). This is a joint effort between a local store, Hospice Care Center in that location, and ICBC.
Items included in the Kit
Rice for the Hungry
ICBC has been supporting the Gundlupet Ministries for the past 5 years. We distribute rice and beans once a month and conduct a devotion with the locals. These families live around the forest area in the state of Karnataka. They live off of government support which only comes during the election time. Other times they hunt for anything they can take to the market to sell to purchase alcohol. The homes they live in are built by the state government. Each family gets one room. Bathroom is a separate, communal building, used by everyone in the area. Children are expected to help their family, so they cannot go to school. Boys, starting at the age of 10, have to look for food and are gone for days into the forest. If they can sell anything, that’s priority. Even if we wanted to give them blankets, sheets or clothes, we have to put holes, or make them otherwise unsellable, so the men won't sell them to purchase alcohol.

Dear Friends,
It is with a heavy, heavy heart that we tell you that Dr. John Philipose, Dad, has passed away. We are so thankful that we were able to spend the last year with him here in the states. I can tell you, his daughters, Laly and Christina took excellent care of him as he was battling cancer. He slipped away peacefully on Sunday morning, February 27th, in our home, surrounded by family at 5:50 AM. But what a legacy he leaves behind. To say that he was loved by thousands would probably be an understatement. He will be sorely missed.
