• 10 students and 2 leaders began volunteering in June with Bethlehem Bible College in the West Bank. During their time in Bethlehem, they participated in ministry outreach in Nativity Square and helped with kids camps.
• In July, they traveled to Nazareth to work with SALAM ministry partner SERVE Nazareth where they participated in community outreach and volunteering at Nazareth Village.  
• On July 19, the team was pulled back and returned home earlier than expected due to rising violence in the area.

• This whirlwind ministry tour with Operation Care was by far the largest effort coordinated by SALAM. Rani again attended as tour host, coordinator and translator. The goal of the trip was to reach 5,000 children in 10 days through 20 events in 10 cities in Israel, the Palestinian Territories and Jordan. We were successful in reaching this goal despite worsening conflict in the region. 
• The first few camps in Jordan alone reached over 2,000 children. This far exceeded our expectations! The influx of Syrian refugees meant thousands of children needing help. Seeing the faces of these precious children as they listened, along with their mothers in many cases, to the Gospel of Jesus Christ was incredible.  
• Two kids camps were canceled due to rioting and rocket fire. Despite these difficulties, God was faithful and our team was able to distribute all the backpacks and supplies.
• Operation Care served alongside local Arab and Messianic ministries in their efforts to reach the children of Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Territories. The love of Christ was shared through kids activities, music, drama and through the washing of feet. Even the bus drivers pitched in to help!     
• In the midst of war, anger and hate, the love of God prevailed through the lives of this small team. THANK YOU for your fervent prayers on our behalf!  

God is on the move in the Middle East among Arabs and He is using the Body of Christ in the Middle East to make His name known. Through these ministry tours, we hope to encourage fellow believers to remember Arab Christians in prayer and whenever possible, join with them in their struggles and triumphs.
