As war broke out in the Holy Land, our local groups of supporters in the UK sprang into action to raise vital funds.

It was so encouraging to see how quickly people responded to the call to support Christians in the Holy Land through this emergency.

So far, we've received funds from:

• Kenilworth Friends of the Holy Land Group - who ran a quiz night raising £770
• Worcester & Dudley Group - who put on two concerts which raised £1,800, and another £291 from a skittles evening
• Lichfield Group - who ran their own quiz night and raised £500 
• Abingdon Parish - who returned from pilgrimage in the Holy Land and were moved to raise funds, gathering £1,100

What a fantastic effort! We are very grateful to them, and also to everybody still planning their own local fundraisers.
