Dear Friends of Sabeel Australia members and supporters,

First, to thank you for being part of our community. Your support has already made a real difference in the lives of Palestinian Christians both in the Holy Land and Australia.

Friends of Sabeel Australia have donated AUD $1500 to Palestinian Christians in Australia (PCiA) to support two university Christian students in Palestine to pay for their university fees last year.

This year, we are asking you to renew your membership and continue that impact.

Here is what makes your support so powerful:

• 100% of your membership and donations go directly towards supporting our cause. We have minimal admin costs — every dollar you give helps a university student pay their tuition fees or supports other charity projects.
• You are helping strengthen the Christian community in Palestine. Your support helps young students thrive spiritually, academically, and personally during a formative season of life.
• You are investing in future leaders. The students you support today will carry your generosity forward into their families, workplaces, and communities for decades to come.

For more information on this sponsorship program, please download earlier, 2023 and 2024, reports from the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, sent to PCiA

This year, we wish to sponsor another two university students through PCiA. Help us make this goal possible by renewing your membership and donating what you can.

Renewing your membership is simple — see below.

If you have any questions or would like to hear more about the students you are helping, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Sabeel’s treasurer Suzan Wahhab and President of PCiA would be happy to speak with you about this initiative. susan@moneyintelligence.com.au

Thank you for walking alongside these young people. Together, we are making it possible for them to pursue their callings. The fact that education can continue, albeit with certain restrictions imposed by the Israeli Government, is a testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people in the midst of so much.
