Hebrews 10:24

In the past 6 months, perhaps the most significant movement is that of raising funds and receiving contributions to help the Palestinian Christians in the Bethlehem area who are unemployed and unable to purchase food and necessities. We rejoice that many of the contributions are from Israeli Messianic Jewish congregations and individuals!

Another major effort has come from Near East Ministries. This Christmas the organizations that usually distributed gift boxes to children were unable to do so. The NEM collected in Holland 6 thousand boxes and also funds for Palestinian Christians. Musalaha was involved in the logistics of the project and the long process of getting the boxes released from the ports authority. Thus the Christmas presents have turned into Easter gifts, but will nonetheless be a source of encouragement to Bethlehem area families who are going through a difficult time.
