ARDF partners with CMJ-Israel
On October 7, 2023, Hamas breached Israel's border with Gaza, killing more than 1,500 people, injuring over 2,500, and taking over 199 hostages. Residents in Israel and Gaza are now suffering from the conflict. Our hearts are heavy as we watch and pray.
Anglican Relief and Development Fund (ARDF) is partnering with CMJ-Israel to bring aid and support to survivors of the conflict. CMJ-Israel is providing relief, spiritual care, trauma counseling, and coordinating housing for displaced families. Donate to support much needed relief efforts, and please keep them and all who are suffering from this violence in your prayers.
Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: Strengthen and protect those affected by the Israel-Hamas war, and so mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen. - Adapted from the collect for the Peace of the World
