We wish to express our gratitude to all those who through their faithful contributions to the Mission Fund have enabled us over the years to alleviate the suffering of needy Christian families in Bethlehem and the Palestinian territories where unemployment is widespread.

Thanks to your generosity we have been able to help with basic food supplies and medicines for the most needy and thus bring them some relief. In some cases we were able to have the disconnected water and electricity supplies restored for a few very poor families.

Your generosity also made it possible for us to help a young father of four who had a brain tumour. He did not have any health insurance and needed palliative care. Sadly he passed away a few months ago, leaving his young family without a breadwinner.

May the Lord bless and reward all of you for your kindness.

Assuring you of our prayers.
