Mexico Project
Mexico is a developing nation with no real form of childcare. Many families are no longer able to survive on the fathers’ salary alone due to the drastic decline of the peso. This is forcing mothers into the workforce at a fast pace, and their children in turn become victims. ICI is able to partner with the team that is providing a safe refuge during the day for children and keeping them out of orphanages and off the streets and bringing them into the loving environment.
The care and assistance we provide for these families extends beyond basic well-being and encompasses all facets of a productive lifestyle, which includes but is not limited to academic, religious and life education.
Projects for 2020 - Iraq - Hope Centre
Properties owned by Christians who fled the country for safety have been illegally seized by organised criminal groups, politicians and religious leaders.
This project aims to establish safe houses for returning Christians who have lost everything during the war. By funding this initiative, Imagine Nations Church is coming alongside local churches in Iraq in order to re-establish the lives of returning Christians and keep a Christian presence in areas that were torn apart during the war.
The Centre of Hope will provide Iraqi Christians with:
– Access to community facilities and services (water and electricity)
– Job-provision programs
– Marriage courses and youth activities
– Discipleship for new believers
Becasue Christians call on the name of Christ, the nation dispise these people group.
Projects for 2020 Israel - Ha Tikva Dental
Dental care is one of the greatest needs in Israel as it is not covered under the national insurance policy. HaTikva Dental operates the first and only Messianic Jewish dental clinics in Israel where they boldly treat patients in the name of Yahushua. They are the only clinics in the nation providing the full range of dental services to the needy. Their first clinic, established in Jerusalem in 2015, has become the preferred clinic of referral for government agencies across the city.
Through their service they provide up to an 80% discount on dental care for those living in poverty and free dental care for holocaust survivors.
Projects for 2020 - Kenya - Lamu Prison
In 2008 Imagination Church partnered with Nairobi Lighthouse Church to bring hope and help to prisoners on the island of Lamu, just off the East Coast of Kenya. This year we will return again to bring hope to that same prison, shining a light into the darkness and giving hope to the hopeless.
Prisoners in Kenya are often imprisoned unjustly, the judicial system is predicated on guilt and if someone is wrongly accused they can be sent to prison without trial and often simply forgotten. Once in prison the conditions are often inhumane without proper sleeping facilities, poor sanitation/toilet facilities and inadequate meals for each prisoner.
Our heart is to visit the prisoner just as Yahushua said in Matthew 25, “I was in prison and you visited me.” We, as the children of God, want to deliver hope to the hopeless and shine light into their darkness so that they know they are not forgotten…

Kids Art and Cultural program
Over the past several years, we’ve all seen the trend of schools cutting the arts from their curriculum. We find art is fun for the kids, diving into finger paints and making a beautiful picture to give it to their parents and hanging on the fridge not only excites them, but this will help kids develop on many fundamental levels. These include creativity, improved academic performance, develop confidence, visual learning, decision making, perseverance, collaboration, accountability, focus and so on
Sierra Leone - Education Support

To that end, the GOSL has articulated an education sector plan 2014-18, specifically prioritising universal primary education, school infrastructure, the reduction of school costs and the support for needy families.
