The church specified that they will only accept up to 4 different cryptocurrencies, such as digital coins to receive donations from their congregation.

Recently, it emerged the news that an evangelical church in Switzerland would accept donations in cryptocurrencies. According to the local press, the church determined that the Bitcoin cryptocurrency (BTC) could be received by the organization to continue with the expansion of the site and finance its activities.

This is one of many congregations in the world that have modified their collection methods to expand their charitable plans.

Currently, most organizations and institutions that receive cryptocurrencies as donation funds are being used, mostly, for the help and control of Human Rights, protection and care for women victims of violence and discrimination, as well as the preservation of the environment and ecosystems. Now, the number of religious organizations that are opting for digital currencies for their charitable purposes and religious activities is growing.

In this way, the evangelical church located in Switzerland, the International Christian Fellowship (ICF) Zurich, is one of the largest ones in the European country and also will be the first one in its territory to use these modern collection methods.

The church, ICF Zurich, is a large evangelical and picturesque congregation that has decided to use new technologies in its accounting system. In this way, it took the initiative to use Bitcoin (BTC) as the ideal cryptocurrency for its use. Representatives of the religious organization invite all their parishioners, who use these technologies, to make their donations to the church through these methods.

The expansion of options is a substantial improvement for church members, especially the younger ones, who are more familiarized with digital currencies. The news that the church is accepting cryptocurrencies caught the attention of local media and managed to interview Nicolas Ledger, who is a spokesman of ICF.

Ledger said he was impressed with the advance and said that it is possible the technology of the future. “Digital currencies and Blockchain technology will change our daily lives more and more in the coming years”, he commented.

It was known that the church is modernizing its services so that its visitors can have the facility to donate as they prefer. According to the information offered by some of the parishioners, this technology is attracting the attention of people and especially the youngest, who are adopting these new financial trends. In this way, using cryptocurrencies can only benefit those who are helped by the works conducted by the church in the community.

In addition to this, Ledger also commented that not only Bitcoin will be available to donate in its collection system. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Ripple will be other options that church visitors will have to donate if they want to use cryptocurrencies.

“Cryptocurrencies will be implemented, whether it is Bitcoin or other currencies controlled by the State. We are convinced that this technology will soon belong to our daily lives (…) twenty years ago, nobody would have believed that the Internet will determine our lives so much”.
