Mission Sermon Series week 2 on 23 Nov 2025 Mission Sunday
Keynote speaker ~ David Gotts (Founder & CEO, International China Concern)
A Life Transformed by Love
At just 19 years old, David Gotts left his banking job in the UK to follow God’s call to China. In 1993, he visited a welfare centre and encountered abandoned children with disabilities—many facing neglect and almost certain death. Holding a dying baby named Rose in his arms, David was forever changed.
Founding International China Concern
Out of that moment of heartbreak, International China Concern (ICC) was born. Founded in 1993, ICC is a Christian development organisation dedicated to bringing love, hope, and opportunity to China’s most vulnerable children.
Over the past three decades, ICC has:
– Provided life-giving residential care, therapy, and education for abandoned and disabled children.
– Pioneered partnerships with Chinese government welfare centres—the first foreign organisation to do so.
– Expanded services to include family support, vocational training, and adoption pathways, transforming despair into dignity and hope.
Impact & Legacy
Today, ICC’s work touches the lives of hundreds of children and families across China, serving as a model of compassionate, sustainable mission.
David’s journey is told in his co-authored book China’s Oasis, a testimony to God’s transforming love for “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40). His story reminds us that when we are transformed by Christ’s love, we are called to transform the lives of others.
