International Christian Hospice

Greetings friends and family! We pray God has been blessing you and growing your faith every day. We have been learning new lessons about His faithfulness as He has led us through times of prayer, waiting, seeking and moving forward. But unchanged is the heartbeat of Jesus’ words which He has called us to.

“The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:37-38

What a privilege to be called to serve God through ICH and to see Him fulfilling this plan. His desire to reach the people of the world with hope and comfort in Jesus Christ remains foremost in our hearts and minds as we move forward in ministry.
God has opened the opportunity for International Christian Hospice to become an independent non-profit ministry. We are currently involved in the process of applying for this new status. God has blessed us with the assistance of another hospice organization in Columbia, S.C. in this process. Please pray for this to be completed in God’s timing. He has also lead us to establish a new base of ministry in Columbia as well as out of our home in N.C.







More exciting news is about ICH work which is ongoing in Honduras. Our Central American Director, Pastor Francisco Ilias has been busy over the past few months leading ICH training seminars. He has presented training in four cities to



Pastor Associations, churches and volunteers. He has been able to promote the ministry on television stations in two areas. The hospice ministry has been taken by Pastor Francisco in to hospitals, schools and homes. He also presented training to a group of Christian Police officers who desired to know how to help people who are dealing with death. Equipping the nationals for continuing ICH is happening and we praise God for His sustaining power.

We are leaving for Central America for ministry on July 31. It will be a full schedule of travel and training. Three teams will be joining us from two churches. Each team will be working with us in a different country: Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. We will be training new members for training teams for future ICH trips. God is expanding His ministry and needs workers for the harvest. We have been praying for others to experience the blessings through working in the Hospice Ministry. God is not only bringing many from the US but workers from other countries like Pastor Francisco.
Praise God for His faithfulness to us His children.
We are seeking His direction for the future of International Christian Hospice and steadfast hearts to follow where He leads. We appreciate your prayers and financial support. At this time before we receive our tax status number, if you would like to contribute to the ICH Ministry you can give through either Biltmore Baptist, Arden NC or Lexington Baptist in Lexington, SC only as a temporary measure not to be in conflict with either churches existing missions giving program. We will keep you informed on the tax exempt status as it develops.
Serving Him Together,
Ron & Susan Naish
Directors, International Christian Hospice.
