Preserving the Living Stones, the Christians, of the Holy Land would not be possible without the continued support of the Franciscan Foundation for the Holy Land’s contributors. FFHL is so very thankful for the impact we have been able to make in the Holy Land because of the generosity of our donors. To help further our mission and continue our target efforts of stopping the Christian exodus from the area, FFHL is launching the Good Shepherd Society.

The Good Shepherd Society is for donors who wish to keep contributing to FFHL’s mission after they have passed and God has welcomed them into the Kingdom of Heaven. These  meaningful gifts allow FFHL to change the lives of Holy Land Christians. Individuals who wish to leave a donation to FFHL in their estate will be welcomed to the Good Shepherd Society and their impact will live on through the organization.

The names listed below represent all those we are aware of to date, who have made a provision for FFHL in their estate plans. They are charter members of the Good Shepherd Society.
