JMECA is a UK Charity which seeks to show God’s love by supporting the charitable work of the Episcopal Provinces in the Middle East; the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East, and the Province of Alexandria. We provide financial support for the churches, clergy and the social ministries the dioceses run for the local communities. Through our website and magazine we aim to inform people of the context of their work and encourage prayerful support.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running in aid of the ministry of the Diocese of Jerusalem through the Jerusalem and Middle East Church Association (JMECA) which is a UK based charity. Funds will also come to St George's College. The ministries of our diocese have been deeply impacted by the effects of the war in the region and we are in great need of more funds to ensure that our important work can continue.

Many people will participate in the Palestine Marathon, from short walks to full marathons. I will attempt to run a half marathon (13.1 miles/21.1km) around the streets of Bethlehem.

Many thanks to all who are able to donate - it will be a great encouragement to me.
