Friends of the Holy Land in Israel and the Palestinian Territories

Friends of the Holy Land is a non-political charity which focuses on encouraging Christians to remain in the land of their birth by supporting them to build resilient and self-sufficient communities, in what can often be a challenging environment. FHL concentrates on a mixture of small immediate relief, and longer term sustainable, projects through a team of locally based lay and clerical professionals who identify and verify those in need.

2020: Friends of the Holy Land – Pentecost Challenge Appeal

OSMTH chose to support the FHL Pentecost Challenge Appeal, launched by the Friends of the Holy Land. As a result of the generosity of three long-standing individual supporters of the Friends of the Holy Land, OSMTH’s donation was “match-funded” and thus effectively doubled in value.

OSMTH made a donation of 2,000 Euros to relieve the hardships caused by:

• health issues
• financial distress
• lack of work

for the Christian communities at risk in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, and which were affected by the COVID 19 coronavirus-related restrictions on travel and social contacts.
