Aid

Nasarean.org’s unique role in aiding persecuted Christians to stay in their countries is supporting and encouraging mini micro-financing to create small businesses – what we call “Project Jonah” - to help families rebuild their lives, feel empowered, and break the culture of dependency.

Father Ben

Father Ben divides his time between the US, UK and the Middle East, speaking, preaching and writing, trying to focus attention on the plight of persecuted Christians around the world. He visits war-torn Iraq, Syria and Lebanon where Nasarean.org is now supporting a number of family businesses.

Advocacy

Advocacy is the principal work of Fr. Ben’s priestly ministry and includes, among many things – writing, media, speaking - educating and informing audiences about the widespread assault on Christians which is, according to Pope Francis, worse than at any time since the first centuries of the Church.

Gospel Nugget 264: This is the Day

A refrain throughout the Easter season, using words from Psalm 118, about the joyous “day” of the Lord, is much deeper than we might think.

"Let us do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the Faith." - St. Paul

I have been reporting on the worldwide persecution of Christians for more than 20 years. The work of Nasarean.org is needed now more than ever - to help & raise awareness of these persecuted believers, advocate for them and help keep their cause front and center.

Raymond Arroyo

York Times bestselling author and host of ‘The World Over Live’ on EWTN

I especially like your approach to help one family at a time instead of a generalized approach that may or may not reach anyone in particular. I also like the fact that Fr. Kiely checks up on as many donors as possible to ensure that the funds are spent properly; sort reminds me of the Good Samaritan.

Steven Hotho

St. Stephen's Charitable Fund donor

So grateful to Fr. Benedict for keeping the light shining on a terrible situation for Persecuted Christians and other religious minorities.

Lauren Green

Fox National News Religion Correspondent

Thank you for the work you and the faithful in Stowe are undertaking to support Christians and others facing persecution in Iraq and Syria.

Ambassador Andrew Bennett

Canadian Ambassador for Religious Liberty

The Arabic 'N' project is, indeed worthwhile. All of us need to do all that we can possibly do to bring to the world's attention the persecution of Christians throughout the world but, particularly at this time, in the Middle East. Heartfelt gratitude for your efforts in this regard.

Timothy Cardinal Dolan

Archbishop of New York

I will do my best to be a spiritual father to Nasarean.org. It is an honor to be asked to assist your important work.

Cardinal Raymond Burke

Patron of Nasarean.org

The reason I give to Nasarean is because I believe in the mission. Being a Christian in the USA, I may have to tolerate some very mild harassment or a few jokes for my faith. But by and large my life is lived in relative peace and I am protected from discrimination or religious persecution. But these believers that Nasarean is serving are living under constant threat and persecution for their faith. How can I call myself a follower of Christ if I simply enrich myself while my brothers and sisters face continuous adversity and hardship? I am honored to be able to help these brave Christians who are truly living out there faith in spite of the cost!
