Bethlehem Christmas Appeal
This Christmas, dozens of families in Bethlehem—the birthplace of Christ—will be left without the most basic necessities: food, medicine, healthcare, and unable to pay for their children's schooling. The devastating ripple effects of the war and worsening economic instability have crippled the tourism industry on which many of the families rely, and unemployment has skyrocketed as a result.
Love Bristol, in partnership with the Nativity Church in Bethlehem, is stepping in to provide urgent relief. Families of all faiths, Christian and Muslim, are in desperate need and are counting on us, but we cannot do it without your help. Your support can make a big difference right now.
The video above showcases just some of the social outreach work the church is involved in.
