Ministry in Gaza

Gaza is one of the most densely populated regions in the world. Shepherd Society provides support through emergency medical aid and food parcels. This assistance demonstrates Christ’s love to the mostly Muslim population; it also helps to make it possible for the Christian minority to stay in Gaza and be light and salt in that region..

Medical support:
The Shepherd Society remains dedicated to supporting the Gaza community by providing essential medical aid, including supplies, medicine, and surgeries. In addition to assisting local hospitals, we place special focus on Al-Ahli Hospital’s emergency unit, ensuring it can continue serving those in urgent need. Furthermore, we support a clinic that operates three days a week, offering care to the Christian community and surrounding areas. As we move forward, our commitment remains unwavering, striving to expand and sustain these critical efforts to bring hope and healing to those in need.

Food Distribution:
The Shepherd Society provides essential food support to the church community and surrounding areas, ensuring that those in need have access to nutritious meals. Cooked meals are offered to individuals, while the majority of our efforts focus on distributing food packages to families facing hardship, especially large families with children. Through this initiative, we strive to alleviate hunger and bring comfort to those struggling, reinforcing our commitment to serving the community with compassion and care.

Job Creation:
Currently, 16 paid volunteers are working in Gaza, providing essential support in education, medical care, and humanitarian aid. Our goal is to expand this team by hiring more dedicated individuals. We place a strong emphasis on hiring teachers, as we strive to reach children in Gaza who have no access to schools or educational programs. By doing so, we aim to provide these children with learning opportunities and a sense of stability, ensuring they receive the education and support they deserve despite the challenging circumstances.

    My interest is in donating funds to help you feed and help people in Gaza. Christians and Muslims, a cup of cold water in Jesus name. The situation is beyond belief , the suffering. and loss of life.

    So, having a long acquaintance of Alex Awad, and some support of Bethlehem Bible College, I would like to contribute to whatever program you have to help, and in whatever way. So please let me know of possibilities, what you are doing as the Shepherd Society in Gaza. (Not and easy or comfortable task. Some details would be helpful. In am part of a donor assisted fund (with others) considering recipients , and right now whatever your unique ministry for refugees, and particularly Gaza, seems high on the list.

    So please let me know of possibilities and how you might prioritize a few thousand dollars for the historic refugees in Gaza, .along with what you are already doing
