You can choose from several funds when donating to Christian Scientists Healing in Africa:
- Practitioners Reimbursement Fund
- Transportation Fund
- Church Fund
- Food Fund
Practitioners Reimbursement Fund:
- Radical healing work is helping to drive the growth of the CS Church in Africa.
- Some Christian Scientists there work as part-time practitioners, healing impressively and are working to be listed in the Christian Science Journal as full-time Christian Science practitioners.
- Zimbabwe's economy, money supply, goods and services, are in shambles.
- 95% unemployment so practitioners don't get paid for most of their healings.
- The Mother Church does not subsidize practitioners.
- We help reimburse these part-time practitioners for part of the cost of the treatments they give to patients (if they received no remuneration for it).
- All records are confidential.
- Practitioners must be devoting substantial time to Christian Science healing.
- For reimbursement, patients must have been healed and the healing verified.
Transportation to Church Fund:
- Many people can't afford transportaion to church services. We supply funds to branch churches for them to help meet this need.
Church Fund:
- Christian Science Churches, Societies, and informal groups are struggling to pay theri expenses (like renting space for church activities). The Mother Church doesn't help meet these expenses.
- We assist as needed, when we can.
Food Fund:
- Occasionally, due to economy and droughts, there is a need to give food to churches for their members to avoid starvation. We prefer to supply seeds to the church members to grow their own food.
