We do not have a major source of funding. Therefore, we rely on you, our donors and pilgrims, to help us cover these costs and advance larger projects in the Holy Land.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
In his discourse known as the Beatitudes, Jesus shows us that our need and desire for God are our common ground with every neighbor and guest. We invite them, and you, to join our prayer:
Pray that the Lord may provide!
If you would love to spend a few hours each week or month supporting our brothers and sisters by helping to look after the archaeological site and monastery, working in the garden, or welcoming visitors, then this is the opportunity for you! Put your talents to good use!
We have icons, jams, books, and mosaic kits so you can create your own, just like the ones found in the Emmaus. The shop has many more local, handmade, artisanal items waiting for you.
Maybe you cooked for 50 guests and misjudged how hungry they would be. Maybe you want to share a special dish with us that you really like. You guessed it! We would love for you to share your culinary talents with us!
Maintaining our monastery and website involves recurring and unexpected costs, which are expensive. We depend on donations to help cover these costs.
Since we arrived in Israel in 1975, we have been overwhelmed by the generosity and support we have received. We pray for you. May the Lord repay you many times over!
We maintain the Holy Site and welcome visitors of all faiths and confessions. Our other activities include dialogue and study with Jewish friends, prayer for Christian unity and reconciliation, icon writing, welcoming volunteers, and leading pilgrimages. Many people want this work to continue. Any donation will help us achieve this goal.
Our goal is to raise approximately USD 350,000 per year to cover our rent, living expenses, car expenses, site maintenance, and progress on our larger projects.
We highlight our ongoing projects and needs at the end of each newsletter. To subscribe move to the bottom of the page.
