The so called International
Christian Embassy of Jerusalem and their friends
do not represent at all the christians of the Middle East or the Holy Land.
They are considered by the Head of the Christian Churches as "Christian
Zionist Fundamentalist Group". They are
rejected by the Arab Christians, the Jewish Christians and Muslims"
Our resources then are Churches that
represent the Christians in the Middle East. They have a long history with
their believers. They had a lot of difficulties during their history. They
survived despite of many different challenges. Some of them will be celebrating
2000 years of their presence in the Middle East.
They do need you to commit yourself to help to preserve the Christian
presence in the Middle East and especially in the Holy Land. The Pope
with all the Major Churches of the Middle East are preparing a Great
Jubilee, the Jubilee of 2000 of Jesus Christ in the Holy Land.
Jesus lived in the Holy Land, Jesus was a part of that land. With his
Virgin Mother, St. Joseph, the disciples and followers, our Lord formed
the First Christian Community. The Christians of the Middle East, and
especially those of the Holy Land are the First Christians, they
are the first martyrs and first Fathers of the Church. They
are the heirs of both Old and New Testament.
1- Help them with your
prayers. We started two year ago with Al-Bushra Magazine to
call all our friends to pray at 8.00 PM every day (at their standard time)
in unity with all their brothers and Sisters all over the World, and especially
with those Christians of the Middle East. You can say a personal prayer
at that hour, or Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory to the Father, or any
Psalm or any prayer you choose. Just do it in union with all your brothers
and sisters, who will be praying at the same time on that special hour.
Pray for Peace and Justice all over the World and especially for the Middle
East and the Holy Land. Pray for the future of cooperation and love between
Jews, Christians and Muslims, Israelis and Arabs.
2- You can offer donations
to any of the Churches or organizations you belong to. Those Churches do
need your help. We established a certain list of those Churches, and if
it exists, their web sites. The Zionist Christians
have already more than 200 web sites. They get a lot of help and donations.
They do mislead people on the realities of Israel, Arabs and Palestine.
3- You can write
to Al-Bushra and leave a prayer, an idea, a suggestion, we may
publish it, with your name.
4- You can help
Al-Bushra magazine, by sending a donation to:
Al-Bushra, St. Joseph /AACC, 850 Judah St. San Francisco, CA 95122
USA
5- You can help sponsor the Al-Bushra
web site. Our web site is an apeal to truth justice and peace for all:
Jews, Christians and Moslems, Israelis and Arabs. Please help us!
Pray with us, please
Lord Jesus, you made from the whole humanity one family when you
taught us the OUR FATHER. We do believe that OUR FATHER "who art in heaven"
is the ONLY REAL FATHER of the whole world. He is the Father of the Jews,
Christians, Muslims, and any other religion, people or ethnic group.
We believe that we are brothers and sisters under the wise love
of our same WONDERFUL FATHER "who art in heaven". We believe that we can
form from the whole world one family, one VILLAGE, if we do love each other.
Our Father guide us in your wisdom and help us to meet each other
by changing our hearts and our minds. Make us see in each one we meet a
brother and sister of the Same FATHER "who art in heaven". Give us peace
that comes from You, a peace based on justice and truth, You who are our
God, Yahweh, Allah for ever and ever. Amen
