“The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.”

– O Little Town of Bethlehem

From the little town of Bethlehem — where Jesus was born and where the world first received the gift of peace — we send you our warmest Christmas greetings .

Christmas is a season of joy, light, and hope. From Bethlehem, this message was given to the world: peace rooted in love, dignity, and compassion. Today, as our communities continue to endure hardship, we believe it is time for the world to return that gift — by standing with Bethlehem and with the most vulnerable around us.

At Holy Land Trust, this belief guides everything we do. Through humanitarian aid and community empowerment, we continue to serve with commitment and love — even in the most difficult times. We do this work from the bottom of our hearts, because we believe deeply in its purpose and in the people we serve.

Thanks to your support this year, families in Umm Al-Kheir now have access to water, warmth, and renewed hope . Here in Bethlehem, Christian families have received food coupons and school support , helping them remain rooted in their community with dignity.

As we approach the end of the year, urgent needs remain. If you have not yet given, you can still help bring light this Christmas by supporting :

Firewood : 35 tons at $500 per ton

Water tanks : 20 tanks at $500 each

Health caravan : $10,000

Medical supplies : $5,000

Food coupons : $10,000

Every contribution — no matter the size — becomes a source of warmth, care, and hope for families facing a difficult winter.

Your love becomes the light Bethlehem needs.
