Our December Charity – Embrace the Middle East
We work with Christians in the Middle East to tackle poverty and injustice in the region. Where there is a need – for refuge, a home, for health care, for education, for justice and human rights – we, with our partners, respond. We currently work with Christians in Egypt, Iraq, Israel-Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, supporting health, education and community projects, which bring vital services to those at risk of marginalisation and exclusion.
Partnership is at the centre of Embrace’s vision of transformation. We support, enable and partner with the Middle East’s Christians as they work to transform lives and restore the dignity of the most excluded and marginalised communities. As the Arab saying goes, ‘there is bread and salt between us’. It means we sit at the table as equals, in an alliance of fellowship.
We currently have over 40 courageous, inspired, creative and skilled partners in the region. All are working to transform lives; all are inspired by the Gospel.
About Charity of the Month at St Mark’s
Charity of the Month was created as a way of coming together as a church community to raise money for good causes. The scheme provides ongoing support to certain organisations, and each year members of our congregation are also invited to suggest charities that they would like to promote.
