Dear Brothers and Sisters!                                                                           December 25, 2020 
 
 
When the three wise men heard the good news of the birth of Jesus, they traveled a great distance to worship him.  
 
“On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.” 
 Matthew 2:11.

As we enter the season for celebrating the birth of Jesus and for giving, let us reflect on ways in which we can worship Christ by being a blessing to others, especially our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land. 
 
This year has been quite a challenge. The harsh conditions that Palestinians and the whole world are going through, due to the spread of the pandemic, require all people to gather their resources to assist their fellow human beings, especially those in greatest need, and to provide them with the necessary support of food and medical supplies during these emergency conditions. This situation is catastrophic for everyone spiritually, mentally, and financially. We must continuously remain in a posture of dependency on God as we continue to build bridges of solidarity and provide support for our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land. 
 
HCEF is grateful for the continuous and steadfast support of friends like you! Together, we can make a change for the better in the Holy Land. Your moral, spiritual, and financial contributions make our efforts to support our brothers and sisters a reality. Intended to engage and transform hearts as we endeavor to be instruments of peace, HCEF Mission is a critical means of supporting them.   
 
Your contribution will provide these vital gifts to your brothers and sisters in Christ, who are even now keeping the faith in the very places where it was first kindled. 
 
Please join us in being instruments of peace for our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land! Share your resources in support of one or more of HCEF’s missions. With the financial, moral, and spiritual support of friends like you, HCEF can continue to make a difference for the living stones, the Christians of the Holy Land.  
 
Your tax-deductible support in the amount of $1000, $500, $125, $25, or whatever you can afford yields life-changing results. 
 
“Let us work together to replace despair with HOPE, 
fear with HUMAN SECURITY, and humiliation with DIGNITY”.
 
May the peace of Christ be with you and yours this season! And may you always remember that no act is too great for our Lord.  
 
God bless,
