Thank you to everyone who donated to the 2024 Bishop of Chelmsford’s Lent Appeal. Thanks to your generosity, the closing total for the appeal was £20,404.
The funds raised will support the Diocese of Jerusalem’s Healthcare Ministry. Inspired by the parable of the Good Samaritan, the ministry of healthcare is an important and growing ministry in the Diocese, one offered to those in need regardless of race, religion, or ability to pay.
The Diocese’s healthcare institutions range from homes for the elderly, to therapeutic residential facilities for special needs students, to clinics, rehabilitation centres and hospitals. The need for support is particularly pressing at this time of war in the Holy Land.
Commenting on the funds raised through this year’s Appeal, The Right Reverend Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani, The Bishop of Chelmsford said:
“Thank you to everyone how has donated to this year’s Bishop’s Lent Appeal. The funds raised will help the Diocese of Jerusalem continue to offer essential health care to those in need, regardless of race, religion, or ability to pay.
“I’m thankful for the generosity of those in our churches and worshipping communities and pleased that we are able to contribute to this important ministry at a time when it is needed more than ever”.
