You’ve walked with us year after year. You know what’s possible when we stand together.
Your gift this Christmas supports scholarships and faculty at Bethlehem University—Palestine’s future midwives, nurses, healthcare workers, and those who train them.
It’s for young women like Miray—who are learning patience, teamwork, and how to bring new life into the world even when everything around them is unstable.
It ensures that women in the West Bank and Gaza don’t have to give birth alone, without care, without dignity. Here’s what your gift provides:
Any amount makes a difference in the lives of mothers and babies who need care. In Bethlehem, young mothers still bring new life into the world against all odds. The Light born here two thousand years ago still shines.
When you give towards a scholarship, you’re not just funding education. You’re walking alongside young women who refuse to give up. Young women who are choosing to serve, even when serving is hard. Young women who are bringing hope into the world, one birth at a time.
“The angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.’”
(Luke 2:10-11)
The invitation not to fear is a challenging one amid the suffering our students and their families have endured over the past two desolate years of economic and emotional hardship. Yet, the good news of the Savior’s birth in Bethlehem, the city of David, calls us to keep our lamps of faith, hope, peace, and solidarity with the most vulnerable burning bright.
This Christmas, may those lamps shine through our generosity, so that every act of giving becomes a spark of hope for a student in need. Together, we can help them feel the transforming power of the Christ Child’s presence among us—a light that renews hearts and futures alike.
