We have tithed to the Boys and Girls Club of San Juan Capistrano, The Gang Prevention Task Force, Laura's House (shelter for battered women), San Juan Capistrano Public Library, and Mainstream Recovery Group (a residential treatment center for recovering substance abusers).
Recipients receive our financial support for 1-3 months. Some organizations have received ongoing support throughout the year, such as Family Assistance Ministries, which helps women and children get back on their feet. We also partner with CREER, a local group supporting Hispanic families, students, and education.
Since 2006, a group of 20 teens and adults have built houses for a family in need in Tijuana, through the Youth With A Mission (YWAM) “Homes of Hope” organization. Click here for more information on this year's missions.
Our society has been actively supporting the Ngochoni Petals of Africa School since 1997 with prayer, book donations, and financial contributions. The school's mission is "to impart knowledge to children, including less fortunate ones, in a sound environment maintaining high moral and academic standards." The Headmistress, Administrator and Treasurer of the school are class-taught Christian Scientists and natives of Kenya. In 2008, 160 students are attending pre-kindergarten through seventh grade classes. The school’s hope is to add a new class and teacher every year all the way through college. Donations, earmarked “Petals School,” are welcome. Click here for more information about the school.
Our society has also supported members who are active in their communities helping the Navajo community in northern Arizona, Marine Corps recruits in San Diego, and persecuted ethnic hill tribes in Burma (Myanmar), where we provided two satellite communication systems to help raise awareness about injustice in Burma. We support each of these efforts on an ongoing basis through prayer and, when appropriate, through donations. Donations for the Burma effort can be earmarked “Burma Matters.”
We also have been sending useful items (phone cards, books, magazines, CDs, personal items, etc.) to United States soldiers on rest and rehabilitation at Camp Assayliyah in Qatar in the Middle East. Homes of Hope 2007

This Society, along with First Church of Christ, Scientist, Dana Point, the Monarch Beach Sunrise Rotary Club, and other organizations and individuals, supported a volunteer building team of 13 youth and young adults, with a total of 26 participants, in the "Homes of Hope" Youth With A Mission project on December 27-29, 2007 in Tijuana, Mexico. The Carvajal Rodriguez family was the recipient of the new home. They have 4 children ranging in age from 10 to 18.
Below is a link to a video presentation about the project.
