Mission Gives $12,130
The Leprosy Mission (New Zealand) had made grants amounting to $12,130 to New Zealanders doing leprosy work with New Zealand-based missions. This year, 31 workers in 11 countries have received the grants.
The secretary (the Rev. M. H. Feist) said that these grants were in addition to the support of the New Zealand Leprosy Mission’s own workers and to the contributions the mission made to the general funds of the world-wide mission of which it was a part.
In 1938 these regular payments amounted to $93,500. Missions assisted by the .special grants include Presbyterian, Baptist, Salvation, Army, Open Brethren, the 'United Churcli of Papua and New Ghinea, the Overseas Missionary Fellowship, the {Sudan Interior Mission, and the International Christian Fellowship. Two missionaries whollysupported by the New Zealand mission are working with the Church Missionary Society, and the others are with the mission’s own teams in Nepal and Indonesia. Another is being recruited for New Guinea.
