The International Committee for the Fellowship of the Least Coin mission is to encourage women of all languages and culture to take part in movement of prayer and to gather fund to help those in need. In their website (http://www.flc.net.ph/missionvision.html), ICFLC states that “Each time a woman prays, she sets aside the least coin of her local currency as a symbol of the prayer. Women’s national groups collect the coins and send them to the central FLC Fund c/o World Council of Churches in Geneva, Switzerland. The prayers offered and the least coins collected support projects for women and the children around the world.”
