Unfortunately, for the second year running we have had to cancel the Chaplains and Families' Conference. Being able to connect together is vital to the wellbeing and flourishing of our mission partners as they often work in isolation, away from the usual support mechanisms. Read more
Being in the Alps it is hard not to be moved by the surrounding majestic mountains. Sitting outside the English Church (St. Bernard’s) in Wengen and looking out as people pass up and down the road, then looking to the hills beyond, I am reminded that God pours out his unfailing love on those living, visiting and working in Wengen, whether they are aware of it or not.

St. Peter’s, Zermatt opened in 1870. Since then, thousands of people have visited the church to reflect, pray, seek the chaplain’s help, and hear the good news of Jesus Christ. The church has a significant place in Alpine history particularly in light of the Matterhorn Disaster of 1865. Read more

In Good Times and Bad, ICS ministry continues. We face huge challenges yes, but we adapt, innovate, fail at times, pick ourselves up and continue, confident that God still reigns and is not taken by surprise by Covid-19 and its impact.

ICS continues to respond to God’s Spirit, to be guided by him in what we do and faithfully proclaim the Good News that the living God cares for people and longs to draw them to himself. Once again however, we find ourselves in a place where opportunity outstrips resources. With all that is happening politically this is a difficult time to raise the finances we need to maintain what we do, let alone respond to the new requests for ministry that we are keen to establish.
