Jerusalem Christian Families
ONE HEART ONE HAND
HELPING THE POOR
 
Land of Peace is a nonprofit organization representing Jerusalem Christian Families scheduled to visit the church (Oct 20-21, 2018) regarding selling religious articles from the Holy Land.
 
Land of Peace is a nonprofit organization with the mission of helping and supporting Christian families in the Holy Land through the Patriarch of Jerusalem. When anyone purchases handmade arts they help our mission and help the Christians in the Holy Land.
 
In 1920 the Christian population in the Holy Land was 80%; today it is less than 2%. With the parish support and the parishioner’s generosity we are able to help our brothers and sisters to live in Jesus’ land of birth.
 
LAND OF PEACE’S GOAL IS TO BUILD A CHARITY HOSPITAL IN THE HOLY LAND
