How Can You Find an
International Organization to Help Support Your Church Health Programs?
First, ask your national Christian Health Association
or council of churches about international
organizations already working in your country. Those
are the organizations most likely to help you. Here's how to contact them:
A.

governments, but they often help local church organizations do health work.
Contact the office in the capital city of your country.
