This year fifty-eight percent of the International Fund is
being expended outside the Holy Land on projects such as assistance to National
Spiritual Assemblies (56 of which receive a large part, if not all, of their
budgets from the World Centre), contributions to the work of the Hands of the
Cause and the Continental Boards of Counsellors, defence of the Cause in lands
where it is facing persecution, and our expanded activities at the United
Nations.
