International Child Care began more than thirty years ago, when James and Virginia Snavley made their first trip to Haiti. What began as a vacation became a mission of love, as they committed themselves to answer God's call to serve the least of all, the suffering and needy children whose eyes seemed to plea "Why me?"
"Now to God who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to God be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever."
Ephesians 3:20
Compelled by their faith in Christ, the Snavleys decided to open a small clinic for boys and girls with tuberculosis. Writing to their friends in North America, they shared a vision to restore health and wholeness to hurting children - one precious life at a time. With these friends, they moved forward in prayer and determination. And their busy clinic became the forerunner of International Child Care's health ministry. Rooted in that simple, bold vision, ICC has grown into a leading health development agency that reaches thousands of suffering children each year. Working through a variety of innovative health programs, ICC provides compassionate medical care and addresses underlying causes to change the conditions that make people sick, hungry and afraid.
The circle of friends who support the work started by Jim and Virginia has widened, as individuals and church communities in cities throughout North America have become partners in mission with International Child Care. Each day, with their help, we recommit ourselves to our mission:
To bring not only health, but wholeness to children and their families through the compassionate love of Christ.
From the seeds of love which were nurtured by the Snavley's whole-hearted faith in God, International Child Care has grown to be living proof that God is able to do much, much more than we can ever imagine. Through God's grace, the dedicated and caring staff members of ICC/Grace Children's Hospital continue to welcome and treat children in need, offering hope to countless families and providing every possible chance for a bright and blessed future for these precious little ones.
To bring not only health, but wholeness to children and their families through the compassionate love of Christ.

Mas que treinta años atrás, International Child Care fue fundido cuando James y Virginia Snavley viajaron por primera vez a Haití. Lo que empezó como una vacación se cambio en una misión del amor, y ellos se dedicaron al responder al llama de Dios de servir los pobres, los que sufren y los niños quienes ojos gritaron "Porque yo?"
"Y a Aquel que es poderoso para hacer todas las cosas mucho más abundantemente de lo que pedimos o entendemos, según el poder que actúa en nosotros, a él sea gloria en la iglesia en Cristo Jesús por todas las edades, por los siglos de los siglos."
Efesios 3:20
Conmovidos por su fe en Jesucristo, los Snavley decidieron de abrir un clínico pequeño para jóvenes con
tuberculosis. En escribir a sus amigos en Norte América, ellos compartían una visión de reestablecer la
salud y el bienestar a los niños sufriéndoos- uno a uno. Con estos amigos, ellos progresaban en rezar y ser
determinados. Y su clínico muy ocupado era el antecedente del ministerio de la salud de International Child Care. Basada
en esta visión fuerte y simple, ICC ha crecido en una agencia importante en el desarrollo de la salud que ayuda miles de
niños que sufren cada año. Trabajando con varias programas de la salud innovadora, ICC proporciona el cuidado
medico compasionado y tratan de confrontar las causas sutiles para cambiar los condiciones que causan la enfermedad, el hambre y
el miedo.
El circulo de amigos que apoyan el trabajo que empezó con Jim y Virginia Snavley ha crecido, con individuos y comunidades entre las iglesias de cada parte del América del Norte que se hacen colaboradores en la misión con International Child Care. Cada dia, con su ayuda, nosotros somos obligados de nuevo a nuestro ministerio:
De traer no solamente la salud, pero el bienestar a los niños y sus familias a través del amor compasionado de Cristo.
De las semillas del amor que fueron cultivados por la familias Snavley y criados por su fe completo en Dios, International Child Care ahora es evidencia viva de que Dios puede hacer mucho mas que podemos imaginar. Por la gracia de Dios, los empleados dedicados y cariñosos de ICC/Hospital de Niños Grace continúan de tratar los niños que necesitan ayuda y de dar cada azar por un futuro brillante y bendito para los pequeños.
De traer no solamente la salud, pero el bienestar a los niños y sus familias a través del amor compasionado de Cristo.
