The IOCC Children's Prayer Journal

Orthodox children ages 7 - 12 across the United States have a new resource to teach them about prayer and their world: the IOCC children’s prayer journal.

Titled “My Prayer Journal,” the colorful book is designed to encourage children in their prayer life as they learn about the lives of children around the world. Each month features a different country where IOCC is implementing humanitarian and self-help programs.

The 12-month, interactive journal also offers children an opportunity to assemble school kits for children in need around the world. Each month, children will have the opportunity to visit the IOCC Web site for more information about that country.
