Seeking to support the inclusive peace and justice ministry of Sabeel, geographical groupings of Friends of Sabeel are being organized worldwide. Sabeel invites you to stand with us and make a difference. To become a Friend of Sabeel is to be a partner - sharing in the privilege and responsibility - for a channel of life and liberation in a region and world where violence, discrimination and indifference must not be allowed to prevail.

We aim to:

• support the ecumenical, inclusive ministry of Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology through our prayerful actions and financial resources
• educate North Americans about the faithful witness of Palestinian Christians in the Holy Land
• advocate for a just resolution in the region based upon international laws regarding self-determination, human rights, religious tolerance and the sharing of natural resources
• coordinate activities between North America and Palestine/Israel to network as effectively as possible

To Share in This Important Ministry
