As we enter our third week of Lent, we ask our benefactors to continue to support our Holy Land appeal to help Christians whose lives have been devastated by the ongoing conflict in the region.
The response to the appeal from our benefactors has been incredible and we thank everyone who has generously contributed towards helping our Christian brothers and sisters during this war. We are working hard to make sure emergency aid including food, medicine, rent for struggling families and other essential aid is provided to Christians in the Holy Land with the help of local Church partners.
To learn more about the Holy Land appeal, the work we are doing, our Lenten Gifts of Faith, and how you can can make a difference, visit the Holy Land appeal page below and please share with your groups.

ACN Prayer
The Pope Video - March 2024
|
 |
|
|
“The courage of the martyrs, the witness of the martyrs, is a blessing for everyone,” is the Holy Father's message for "The Pope Video" this March.
In the video, produced in collaboration with ACN, the Pontiff dedicates this month’s prayer intention to persecuted Christians.
ACN (International) Executive President Regina Lynch praised the Pope’s video, saying the initiative is “very important in order to encourage prayer for the victims of persecution, as well as advocacy for those who suffer discrimination for their faith.
“In addition, we must involve politicians so that they defend the rights of the most vulnerable.”
The video comes just days after 12 Christians were slain when men armed with knives disrupted a church service last Sunday in northern Burkina Faso.

After the service at Farm Street, all guests will be invited to meet with ACN staff and hear more about the work and projects we are supporting. The event will be free to all,
