Empowering Young Believers for Global Mission
ICPF Ireland is committed to mentoring, equipping, and empowering students, young professionals, and families through prayer, discipleship, and Christ-centered action.
About Inter-Collegiate Prayer Fellowship
Inter-Collegiate Prayer Fellowship (ICPF) began as the fruit of earnest prayer to reach university students with the Gospel. Full Gospel Student Camps were held every year from 1973 at Charalkunnu, Kerala, under the leadership of Prof. Mathew P. Thomas — laying the foundation for what would become a full-fledged student ministry. In 1980, at a 350-strong student conference, delegates unanimously voted to formally establish the ministry as the Inter-Collegiate Prayer Fellowship.
What began with a handful of volunteers grew, through decades of sacrificial prayer and service, into a movement reaching thousands of students every week across dozens of states in India — through campus fellowships, retreats, and residential camps. ICPF also encourages students toward academic excellence and moral integrity, shaping them into principled, purposeful citizens.
From the mid-1990s, ICPF carried this same vision beyond India — to the Gulf region, the United States, the UK, Canada, and Australia — planting camps, retreats, and prayer fellowships among students and young professionals in the diaspora. ICPF Ireland continues that same calling today.
