Sabeel Groups and Contacts

Sabeel groups in the United States are made up of volunteers working within their communities to promote Sabeel’s vision of justice, peace, and reconciliation; to develop Christian support for Palestinian Christians and all the people of Palestine and Israel; and to encourage participation in Sabeel events, regional conferences, local groups, and international witness trips.
