Vision for Indian Christian Fellowship of Greater Hartford:

Ever since Earl and Vimala moved to New England, God had placed in their hearts the desire to share Christ's love with the Indian and Sri Lankan communities living in and around the Greater Hartford, CT area. The ICF is the fulfillment of that vision and an answer to an unceasing prayer. The ICF was started on May 13, 2006, with the mission to reach the South Asian Community in the Connecticut region for Christ.
