For God’s Glory
and the Care of His People

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I greet you from the Holy Land, a place where faith is not merely remembered, but lived. This is the land shaped by the footsteps of our Lord, the voices of the prophets and the Gospel that carried God’s light to the ends of the earth.

Here, faith is woven into everyday life. It lives in every stone, every tree and stream. Yet today, beneath the beauty and holiness of this land, many Christian communities carry a heavy burden.

Years of uncertainty, the lasting effects of the pandemic and the ongoing reality of conflict and war have deeply impacted our people. Families who once depended on tourism now struggle to provide for their children and preserve their faith. Churches strive to serve their communities with limited resources.

As a priest and shepherd, I witness their strength, their faith and their weariness. I cannot remain silent and I cannot carry this mission alone.

I invite you to stand with us.

By joining these initiatives, you become part of a living expression of faith. Together, we strengthen the Christian presence in the Holy Land, not only through prayer, but through compassion made visible. Through your support, we uphold dignity, sustain families and help ensure that Christianity remains a living presence where it first took root.

Every prayer you offer and every gift you share, whether great or small, becomes an act of love planted in the soil of the Gospel. These acts bear fruit in hope, resilience and renewed life for generations to come.

Together, we can ensure that the Christian community here continues to live, to serve and to bear witness in the land where Jesus taught, suffered, died and rose again.

I ask you today to open your hearts. Let us stand together as one family in Christ, united in faith and shared responsibility, carrying forward the mission entrusted to us in the Land of the Bible.

With prayer and blessing,

Fr. Rami Asakrieh
