A Sunday School headmaster Mr. K.C. Abraham informed IOIF about an 8th grader Kumari Jimsha who had a poor heart condition and whose family could not afford the resulting medical expenses. IOIF decided to rally behind Mr. Abraham and was successful in mobilizing a synergy that result in a significant amount of help for Jimsha.

The following are some of the ICON Messages related to this effort. It reveals how a movement got formed on ICON on its own in an effort to help Jimsha and shows the potential of this community to work together for God's glory:

This was another milestone in the life of ICON. Building on the experiences of the Sosamma Chacko project, the help to Jimsha and the updates and followups from Mr. K.C. Abraham and the other IOIF members convinced the Moderators of IOIF that IOIF was merely a platform for working wonderful miracles in this era. The effort was a truly global and one thing led to the other and the result was a smooth execution of another well co-ordinated project creating help for a deserving cause. We thank God for using us for his work.
