Olive Tree Center Fund Drive
My Gift to Save God’s Children in Iraq
Dear Friend in Christ,
With so many Iraqi Christian refugees still struggling to put the pieces of their shattered lives back together, your generous gift of $25, $50, $100 or more is needed today to put a new Olive Tree Center in the capital city of Jordan, Amman.
Many of the refugee families I work with here in Madaba, Jordan, have told me this Olive Tree Center — which you helped us establish — has been a blessing in this traumatic time.
“The Olive Tree Centre gives us a safe space for our children,” Leka told us. “They are happy, and to see them learn English, guitar, music, and art makes me happy.”
Leka was pregnant with her son, Androus, when ISIS attacked their city in Iraq, forcing them to flee for their lives. Little Androus has lived his entire life as a refugee in a foreign country.
Ashwaq, Leka’s sister, and her 6-year-old son Stravo also fled Iraq with their family members that day. They now view the Olive Tree Center as a place they can call home. “At this Center, we celebrate our traditions, and it takes us back to happier days,” Ashwaq said.
Your support of our Olive Tree Center is changing and saving lives every day. That’s why I’m praying the Lord has blessed you with the means to help open a second Olive Tree Center in Jordan.
The Jordanian government doesn’t allow Iraqi refugees to work. That means they are totally dependent on your generosity.
YES, Helena, I’m sending my tax-deductible gift right away to help open the second Olive Tree Center and provide hope, help, and healing to suffering Iraqi Christians:
Sisters Leka (far left) and Ashwaq (far right) with their children at the Olive Tree Center.
Let me stress that we are very close to having the funds needed to establish the second Olive Tree Center. I’m hoping you can send a generous gift today to help us raise the rest of the funds needed so we can open this new center in the next few months.
Please rush your special tax-deductible gift of $25, $50, $100, or more right away in the spirit of Matthew 25:40:
“Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of
the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.”
With your prayerful support again today, you will bless more refugee families with a place where they can hope again, start to heal, and rebuild their lives. Your past support helped us do this for Leka, Ashwaq, and their children. Your gift again today will help us do this for hundreds more of our Christian brothers and sisters.
Sincerely,
Helena Scott
