Kari Mashos CSB

At an early age I loved reading the Bible for its inspiring accounts of healing. I found it comforting, strengthening and thought-provoking.

Megumi Oka CSB

I was raised attending Christian Science Sunday schools all over the world because my father was a journalist for The Christian Science Monitor . However, I did not make this teaching my own until my late twenties when I was totally confused about my life purpose.  I worked in finance in New York, London and Tokyo, went to cooking school in Paris, and worked as a cook.  A conversation with a friend about how to find direction in life, led me back to Christian Science.

Leide Lessa CSB

When I was 12, my piano teacher saw my distress about my father’s illness, and she kindly offered me a Herald of Christian Science and invited me to Sunday School. I loved going there, where I learned to study the Bible Lesson.

Thomas McElroy CSB

Growing up, Christian Science was my lifeline. I wasn't super tied in to church, but I had a concrete feeling there was a source I could turn to for comfort, inspiration, and direction: God.
