In addition, the church members at the IMS shall have the opportunity to support the Good Samaritan work in their local churches, fields, unions, and the GC Good Samaritan Department, through systematic benevolence – donating to this cause on a regular basis, regardless of the size of their gifts.

Currently, needed church members are to be supported in countries like Cuba, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Benin, Nigeria, Honduras, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, Bangladesh, and South Africa, Pastor Morris Lowe revealed.
