"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
Psalm 23

Times of crisis can test our faith like no other. We often ask, "How can we make sense of suffering?" Yet, it is often amid the suffering that we see more that we are the many hands carrying out God's work in the world. The last few months have surely been a dark valley for many of us but we must remember that even in the darkness God is there.

Due to COVID-19, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land is facing a severe revenue shortfall that may require them to lay off valuable employees. This Giving Tuesday, help us honor the hard work and sacrifice of the ELCJHL's employees and avoid layoffs by making a donation today.

    Online Classes Continue at the ELCJHL Schools

    Remote learning has been a challenge for teachers, students, and parents alike, but it has also led to increased visibility of the excellence of the ELCJHL schools on their respective Facebook pages. Take a few minutes to browse students' work at the Evangelical Lutheran School of Hope in Ramallah, Dar Al-Kalima Lutheran School in Bethlehem, and the Evangelical Lutheran School in Beit Sahour.

    Ramadan, the holiest month in Islam, began in Palestine in the evening on Thursday, April 23rd at the first sight of the new moon. The many Muslim students of the ELCJHL and their families will mark the month by praying, fasting, and, eating together. The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle and thus comes two weeks earlier every year in the solar Gregorian calendar. Wish a Ramadan Mubarak (Blessed Ramadan) to your Muslim friends and family.
