Our mission is to organize and sponsor Christian charity fund raising events involving fun and Christian fellowship centered on communication of the message of the Gospel to as many people in as many places as possible, done out of love for fellow man and to the greater glory of God.
Ichthus
The Greek word for fish is “ichthus”, sometimes spelled “Ichthys”. As early as the first century, Christians made an acrostic from this word: Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter, i.e. Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. The fish has plenty of other theological overtones as well, for Christ fed the 5,000 with 2 fishes and 5 loaves (a meal recapitulated in Christian love-feasts) and called his disciples “fishers of men.” Water baptism, practiced by immersion in the early church, created a parallel between fish and converts. Second-century theologian Tertullian put it this way: “we, little fishes, after the image of our Ichthus, Jesus Christ, are born in the water.”
Now we find ourselves in post-modern times in which the spiritual survival of all people is constantly challenged by the cultures of the world and many dark forces. Ichthus Events Foundation, Inc. has been created for a purpose that transcends limited goals in seeking to satisfy man’s deepest needs for spiritual growth, both as individuals and as members of a Christian segment of society, through events that are as enjoyable as they are inspiring and fulfilling. While raising money for Christian charities that support others in need of physical and spiritual sharing of what we have, we remember that spreading the good news that is the Gospel is our greatest purpose.
