Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem 2000 years ago and today the Christians in the Holy Land, including Bethlehem, are experiencing extreme difficulties and dangers. They are being marginalised in both Palestinian and Israeli society, with the lack of peace, stability and the absence of justice.

Education is one area that is severely affected by the situation and is getting worse. Freedom of movement is very difficult, sometimes causing families to be separated. The instability of many to find employment means children’s education is drastically affected and equipment for schools is always needed as is financial assistance for their education.

Please be generous with your prayers and money to help the children in the Holy Land this Christmas.
