Friends of the Holy Land (FHL)

Who we are

What we do

Recent activities

Picture
FHL help the most vulnerable Christians living in the West Bank, Gaza, Israel and Jordan.  In 1948, at the creation of Israel, 80% of people living in Jesus' home town of Nazareth were Christian.  That number is now only 20%.  The population of Christians in the Holy land is now only 2% in the Land of Jesus' birth.

The National organization of the Friends of the Holy Land (based in Kenilworth) was established in 2009 to support the Christians in the Holy Land. As such, we work in close cooperation with the Christian churches in the Middle East and in the UK. Our work is entirely non-political and is carried out with the backing and blessing of both Catholic and Anglican Bishops in England and Wales. Our own Bloxwich group was set up in 2012.

Picture
We have 4 objectives:
  1. To pray for the peace and wellbeing of all people in the Holy Land
  2. To raise awareness of the plight of ordinary people caught up in the troubles.
  3. To raise funds to provide practical ways that support the Christian communities in the Holy Land including housing, education, and care for the young and elderly. 
  4. To encourage people to go on pilgrimage.
