We write to you with heavy hearts but steadfast spirits, seeking your fellowship and presence in a time of great need. The land where Jesus once walked, the Holy Land, has been enduring decades of turmoil, displacement, and violence. Our communities are under continuous attack, and our people,though resilient, feel increasingly isolated. As Christians, we are called to follow in the footsteps of Jesus who proclaimed liberty to the captives and comfort to the afflicted. Today many are held captive in Palestine, often in a literal sense, but also by the oppression and suffering inflicted upon them.  The cries of our people resonate with the lamentations found in the Psalms, yet we hold firm to our faith and hope for peace. We deeply appreciate the prayers offered from afar, but now, more than ever, we need our Christian sisters and brothers to join us here, to pray with us, to walk with us, and to stand with us in our struggle for justice and peace. Your presence would be a powerful testament to the unity and compassion that Christ taught us.</div><div style="box-sizing:inherit;width:536px;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:normal;caret-color:rgb(34, 34, 34);color:rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:1.5"> </div><p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:536px;caret-color:rgb(32, 32, 32);color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:auto;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;line-height:1.38;text-align:justify;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);margin:0pt 0px;padding:0pt 0pt 10pt"><span fr-original-style="font-size: 14px;
