Ruth Thomas – Membership and Fundraising officer

We are delighted to welcome Ruth back to the Sabeel-Kairos team in this role! Previously Ruth worked as advocacy officer for our under 35s, and has continued to volunteer with us over the years since. She has now taken up the position as membership and fundraising officer.

Ruth completed two semesters of the online Certificate Program in Peacemaking and Justice in the Palestinian Context with Bethlehem Bible College and has learnt so much from Palestinian Christians and theologians over the past 5 years that she is passionate for Christians in the UK to hear their voices.  She enjoys making connections with all our members and supporters and would like each person who gives to Sabeel-Kairos to see themselves as a vital partner in this work of bringing a just peace to Palestine .
