We acknowledge the Lord as the ultimate source for our financial support.
We are committed to financial accountability, good stewardship and gratitude.
Finances and how you can help...
Finances
Financially, City of Rest is mostly depending on local support from both churches, organisations and individual Christians. Occasionally gifts are received from overseas.
Parents or relatives of our guests are asked to make a reasonable monthly contribution towards the feeding of their family member. However, many of our guests come from families who cannot afford to pay this amount, while others have been completely abandoned and have no-one to pay for them. As we do not like to turn down any person for financial reasons, our monthly budget is heavily stretched.
Our staff members receive no formal salary, but a small monthly stipend. Were it not for their love for God and their commitment to the ministry, many would have left us. We are grateful for their faithfulness.
City of Rest is seeking opportunities to strengthen their financial position and increase the sustainability of the organisation.

Volunteers
City of Rest is willing to consider enquiries from any one wishing to volunteer with training and experience in the field of substance abuse and/or mental health. Enquirers should be Christians, or respect the Christian character of the work, aware and respectful of cultural differences. Their main focus should be to empower the local staff through (practical) training.
