Appeal Martyr Shahbaz Bhatti Memorial Fundraiser Dinner 2022
International Christian Voice is a Canadian Charitable Organization and Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH). ICV serves to sponsor asylum seekers, who are victims of religious persecution and support their resettlement in Canada. Every year, in memory of the Martyrdom of Shahbaz Bhatti, a memorial is celebrated in March to preserve his legacy. Funds are raised to sponsor one deserving refugee family to Canada. After much deliberation, in 2020, ICV identified GUL SHER MURAD and his FAMILY for sponsorship to Canada, but due to ongoing pandemic challenges there have been painful delays in the immigration process. Our own fundraising efforts were also severely impeded. ICV decided to support Gul Sher Murad, his wife and five minor children for sponsorship to Canada. Gul Sher has lived in exile in Thailand, in hiding, away from his family for the past decade.
