Divine Connections and Appointments in Canada
March 28, 2024
This month our CEO Joe, was able to reconnect with some great friends from Links past at the International China Concern (ICC) retreat in Vancouver Canada. ICC do incredible work with disabled children in mainland China and have a number of national offices around the world that help raise funds and awareness to support this work. Links and ICC have partnered with one another in various ways over the last two decades, and it would be true to say that we have mutually benefitted from this great relationship between the two organisations, which has influenced and helped mould our collective culture.
Last year, with Founder Dave Gotts, taking on the CEO role of ICC again, Joe was approached to join the International Board and the retreat in Vancouver was a great opportunity to be able to connect with the wider international team of regional offices, boards and the team that manages the projects in China itself.
Joe writes:
What an incredible opportunity to meet together with such a group of heroes!
It is a real honour to be able to serve this great organisation in the amazing work that they are carrying out in China, and I look forward to this next chapter for ICC and also the many ways that our connection together continues to bless and support the work of Links too. We had such a great time together in the beautiful setting of Keats Island, just off of the coast of Vancouver, with a mixture of culture development, both spiritual and practical input, alongside meetings to look at the overall governance and systems within the organisation itself. All this with the stunning backdrop of the majestic snow-covered mountains surrounding us. It was very inspiring to see how such a far reaching, diverse team were all held together for a common caus,e with a vibrant faith filled culture underpinning everything that they are doing. I left feeling privileged to be able to serve and full of excitement for the future.
Please do check out their great work and I am sure that you will be hearing more from Links’ involvement, as we continue to partner with ICC into the future!

A Place to Belong
October 1, 2025
In a rural corner of South Asia, where disability often means isolation, shame or exclusion, a rare and radiant gathering recently took place. Hosted by South Asia Access (an Act4You account) in partnership with Joni and Friends, a U.S.-based Christian non-profit dedicated to serving families affected by disability, the International Family Retreat became a sacred space of rest, restoration and radical belonging.
