Immediate Financial Help Needed for Four Homes of Mercy in Bethany Israel

1/28/2019

Bethany in Israel was always the place where Jesus stayed when he was in the Jerusalem area. Bethany was a leprous community – Matthew 26:6 “Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,” – Bethany was always, and still is, one of the poorest areas in Israel. It is difficult to get to, but I always take my Biblical tours there because that is where Jesus went to care for those who were the outcasts and could not care for themselves.

Today, Four Homes of Mercy cares for 68 mentally and physically disabled children and adults. Most of their employees receive no income but volunteer their services and time. They are always in desperate need of resources to care for those who cannot care for themselves.

I received a list of some of the most essential needs that they have difficulty getting, or it is very expensive to get, in Israel.

Cold medications
Desitin -- MANY tubes as most of the 68 guests are incontinent
Digital thermometers (2) to measure body temperature from the ears or forehead
Glucose check machines (2) with additional strips
Aspirins – especially Tylenol aspirins

Donate - Four Homes of Mercy

I am asking for your financial support so that I can buy these supplies here in the states before I leave this Sunday, February 3, and have them carried in with the 34 people going on the trip with me.

If you are moved to help those who cannot help themselves, please consider making a donation now to help. Dollar per dollar it will go to getting these supplies and other needs to the residents of Four Homes of Mercy.

Thank you for your help in helping those who Jesus cares for.
