My Story

We are part of a  team from St Alban & St Stephen Parish who are fundraising to support Friends of the Holy Land's Pentecost Challenge! 

A huge number of Christian families across the Holy Land who relied on tourism have been plunged into unemployment and poverty during the last year, with no government support. If their children are to continue attending their Christian schools, they need help to pay the (small) school fees.

For children and young people growing up in difficult places to live, like East Jerusalem, the West Bank or Gaza, and for those with disabilities, a good school is absolutely vital for their wellbeing now and their future prospects.

We will be walking 84 miles before Pentecost Sunday on 23rd May,  on a virtual pilgrimage  from Bethleham to Nazareth. Most of what we raise will help to keep vulnerable children at the schools they love, and we'll also be supporting the charity's wider pandemic response across the region.

Please support us.
