Anglican Friends of Israel is proud to endorse the work of this excellent organization, which needs and deserves your support:

Shevet Achim was founded in 1994 with the purpose of helping non-Israeli children receive lifesaving medical care in Israel. Our name is taken from the Hebrew of Psalm 133, which promises that unity between brothers leads to life; we believe this to be true of the troubled relationship between Isaac and Ishmael (Jews and Muslims) in the Middle East. To live this out we seek to "go and do likewise" as the Good Samaritan, who crossed lines of division to show that an enemy is in fact a neighbor also loved by God.

We work from the historic building in Jerusalem which housed the first children's hospital in the Middle East, and are registered in both Israel and the US as a non-profit organization, overseen by a board which includes Chuck Kopp, pastor of the Narkis Street International Congregation in Jerusalem; Jonathan Miles, international coordinator of Shevet Achim; David Pileggi, director of Shoresh Study Tours in Jerusalem; and Jim Schutz, local congregations liaison with the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem.
