Christians in Bethlehem Need Your Help

How Can This Be?

In the birthplace of Jesus, Christians are facing unprecedented hardship. Once a thriving community, Bethlehem’s Christians are now struggling to survive.

The Crisis Unfolded

Bethlehem, often thought to be part of Israel, is actually located in the West Bank. Following the 1993 Oslo Accords, Bethlehem came under the control of the Palestinian Authority. While many Christians worked in tourism or commuted to Israel with permits, the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, changed everything.

· Israel closed all access to the West Bank, including Bethlehem, cutting off job opportunities.

· The tourism industry has collapsed, leaving 90% of Bethlehem’s Christians unemployed.

· Christians are caught in the crossfire, as violence between Israeli forces and Hamas escalates.
A Desperate Situation

Charities are trying to help, but food distribution is controlled by the Palestinian Authority. Christian families often receive little to no aid, leaving many on the brink of starvation.

How We’re Making a Difference

We deliver monthly food boxes directly to Christian families in greatest need. Each box contains essentials like: Cooking oil, Flour, Sugar, Powdered milk, Canned meats, boxed goods.

The Christians of Bethlehem need:

· Your prayers for peace and safety.

· Your support to provide food and essentials.

· Your help to ensure their survival.
