Who we are

The charity 5th Gospel Christians grew from listening to pilgrims to the Holy Land who saw the plight of Christians and asked, “surely we can do something directly to help?

5th Gospel Christians set out to be companions on the journey and support people in Bethlehem, Jordan, and the refugees who fled from war and persecution.

5th Gospel Christians is governed by Trustees and a Council of Advisors with backgrounds in charitable work, teaching, business, healthcare and medicine.

Trustees and Council have worked for several years in overseas Christian missions.
