Global Kairos for Justice Call for Prayer during Advent

It is a very critical moment for the Palestinian people. Palestinians have no safe place in their land, threatened by killing and forcible transfer. We therefore cry to God during this Advent season for the Palestinian people at 12.00 o’clock wherever we are in the world. (more…)

Red Letter Christians – Daily devotional Reflections from Bethlehem throughout Advent

Our friends at Red Letter Christians have produced a wonderful resource this year where we can turn our hearts and minds to Bethlehem in this holy season.

Written by Palestinian Christians living in the heart of the Holy Land and their allies, this devotional invites us to consider the world-changing truth that God is with us, Emmanuel – not from a place of comfort, but in the rubble of suffering, injustice, and violence. As we watch the horrors unfolding in Gaza, we are reminded that the Savior of the world was born in the midst of violence, as a refugee in an occupied land. (more…)

Christ in the Rubble resource kit

Our sister organisation in the US, Friends of Sabeel North America, has put together this useful resource pack to use in your church and Christian community. With prayers, sermons, actions, songs/carols and images all collated in one place, it focuses on Munther Isaac’s Christ in the Rubble theme from 2023 and helps us to build solidarity with our Palestinian Christian brothers and sisters today.

Sabeel-Kairos UK at Greenbelt!

Planning is now well underway for the Sabeel-Kairos stall at this years Greenbelt.

We are excited to be able to promote the great work that we are doing, especially in the current climate, and are looking forward to having the opportunity to meet and engage with people who will be at the festival.

We have planned a small programme of activities which we are hoping will draw people into our stall, and are still looking for a few more volunteers to join our team; who are familiar with our work and might have a few hours to spare over the weekend to come and speak with people, serve Arabic tea or volunteer up their face painting skills.

Please get in contact with Claire at if you are going to be at Greenbelt and could give a little bit of time to come and serve on the stall. We’d love to have you! 

We are recruiting!

Are you someone with a passion and commitment to the Palestinian people, who can organise events, mobilise people to campaign, and work with our partners in Palestine? If so you might be our new Events and Campaigns Officer! (more…)

Mohammad, 19

“I can bring home food now, and shop for my family”

Mohammad is a graduate of the NECC Vocational training centre in Shejaiya, from the metal and aluminium course.

Areej, 16.

*Areej lives in Shejaiya, and would like to study nursing when she leaves school. She speaks eloquently about how life in Gaza has changed since the last war, and how the sense of community and family is slowly being eroded by the siege. She was injured in the war and has received treatment from Al Ahli hospital. (more…)

Yasmin, 12

“I want to be a doctor – to help others as I have been helped”

*Yasmin greets me with a shy but engaging smile. As a young girl living in Gaza she has endured more suffering than any 12 year old I’ve ever met, but an air of optimism and child-like joy still surround her. She starts by telling me that she loves school, and she’s currently missing her favourite subject, Arabic language. (more…)
