**BibleLands’ Christmas appeal focuses on disabled children in the Middle East, 
and was mailed to 34,500 existing contacts. It aims to raise £150,000.**

The Appeal highlights the work of The Sheepfold, a Christian-led care centre in 
Shepherds’ Fields, Bethlehem. Tricia Pruden, BibleLands’ Head of Communications &
Fundraising, chose The Sheepfold as the focus of the appeal after hearing the story
of Jamilla, a 13-year-old girl with congenital physical disabilities and hearing
impairment.

The appeal includes an online element, with the text of the appeal reproduced together
with calls to donate online.
