"So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us" 2 Cor. 5:20.
"The Mother Church"
After two thousand years, Christian families are still living and worshiping in the land where Jesus was born, died, and resurrected. These Christians are not immigrants. They are not converts from Judaism or Islam. They are the descendents of those who first believed in Jesus Christ. They live in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Madaba, Karak and other places in Palestine, Jordan and Israel. They are Arab Christians - Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant. Together, they comprise the Mother Church.
Become an Ambassador of the Mother Church
All Christianity traces its roots to the first Christian Pentecost (Acts 2:11). The Church was born when the Holy Spirit, in the form of tongues of fire, descended upon the disciples in the Upper Room nearly 2,000 years ago.
The Holy Land Christian Support Network (HCSN)
HCSN is a name that HCEF gives to its network of local committees and their members. HCSN supports Holy Land Christians by supporting the programmatic work of HCEF at the local level and through membership.
Become an Ambassador and join HCSN!
An Ambassador of the Mother Church is one who supports our Christian heritage - spiritually, physically, or monetarily. Ambassadors can support our Christian heritage through HCSN.
HCSN strives to reach Western Christians on a person-by-person, church-by-church basis because we believe that this leads to true solidarity between Holy Land Christians and Western Christians. Even if you don't have a local committee yet, you can become an individual member of HCSN at large and an Ambassador of the Mother Church. In order to further develop its programs, HCEF must address a longstanding need for operational funding; thus allowing it to continue developing programs to maintain the indigenous Christian presence in the Holy Land.
