Sharing God's Provision in Gaza
Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
Late last week, with your incredible support, we successfully distributed 1,000 hot rice meals in south of the Gaza Strip. These meals brought much-needed relief to families who are facing unimaginable hardship. This vital distribution was made possible thanks to your ongoing generosity and prayers, which continue to have a direct impact on the lives of so many.
Signs at the distribution points state, "Donated by Gaza Baptist Church." These signs help ensure that those receiving relief know it comes from the Church and the Christian community, as a way to show God's love and provision. This is a tangible expression of how we serve others through our faith, reflecting God's compassion and care for those in need.
We are currently working on continuing to support the people in our church community. We are providing cash assistance to 290 families, offering $114 per family to help them purchase necessities. This is particularly vital as the churches are only able to provide one meal every 48 hours. We are preparing to distribute winter clothing to families, having provided summer clothing just a few months ago.
In addition, our team is working on increasing the number of hot meals available to both the churches and the wider community, ensuring more people receive the nourishment they desperately need.
Many Christian Gazan families have been affected by the current war. We are actively supporting about 100 of them in the West Bank with relief and education. Many of these families previously worked in Israel but are now struggling to provide for their children.
Your prayers and support are crucial as we work to meet these urgent needs.
Introducing our new Partners Page
We are also excited to share the launch of a new Partners Page on our website, showcasing some of our 50+ partners world-wide. Without their steadfast commitment and partnership, we would not be able to carry out the critical work we do. These partnerships allow us to reach even more vulnerable individuals and provide essential aid where it is needed most.
We encourage you to visit our website to learn more about these wonderful organizations, each playing a unique role in supporting our mission.
Upcoming Trip to Jordan
I would also like for your continued prayers for my upcoming trip this week to Jordan for our Iraqi and Syrian Ministry.
Our Free Eye Glasses Clinic will be taking place again!
Seven dedicated volunteers from First Baptist Church in Garland, Texas, will be joining me in Jordan to minister to refugees in need of eyeglasses. These volunteers will be bringing hundreds of new glasses to help people who need assistance with near and far vision.
Pictured below is the clinic taking place in previous years.
Please pray for their safe travels and for the many lives that will be touched by this ministry.
Your support and prayers are vital as we continue to provide relief and hope to the people of Gaza and Beyond! Together, we can make a difference and be a source of blessing in their lives.
As always, I love to hear and connect with you.
In Christ's Love,
Pastor Hanna Massad
Founder & President
