First registered in Jordan in 1927, it was renewed in 1953 following the establishment of Israel in 1948.

Founded by Pr. Albert Hashweh Snr. Who, along with his family, came to Jordan as refugees from Palestine in 1947. The Hashweh family is well-known in Jordan for their Christian and humanitarian service to the many thousands of refugees present in Jordan following the conflicts in Kuwait, Iraq and the more recent unrest in Syria.

The church building was erected in 1988 the year before Pastor Albert passed away.

Pastor Albert’s son, Yousef Hashweh is the Pastor of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Amman, Jordan and since 1990, has worked extensively with refugees from up to 22 different nations in the Hope Clinic, English Language teaching, and refugee support, counselling and food aid.

Another son of Albert, Jamal Hashweh also works with refugees and hosts 5 hubs in Jordan where refugees mainly from Iraq, Syria and Sudan. The centres provide food parcels, friendship, micro industry or trade training and receive encouragement and support.

Victor Hashweh, son of Albert Hashweh, is well-known in the region for his work among displaced peoples as well as his translation work for the UN. He provides Christian teaching on Marriage and the Family and Christian growth and discipleship.

HOPE CLINIC

There are some 1 million refugees in Jordan from Syria, Iraq and other nations. Without work or income they rely on voluntary groups for any help they can obtain – food, accommodation and medical care. The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Amman is one group providing help for refugees. They care for families, offering support and food. They also run the Hope Medical clinic, open two days a week staffed by volunteer medical staff. They provide free medical care for up to 80 people and families each week. Everything from pregnancy care to PTSD counselling is covered, but above all, the Hope Clinic is a place where people can be heard, valued and included.

MEDICAL CARE-SUPPORT- FOOD AID

Without work or income, Syrian and Iraqi refugees desperate for medical attention. The Christian & Missionary Alliance church provide care for 80 patients and families each week.

TRAUMA COUNSELLING

Refuges from neighbouring nations have lost families, income, homes and hope. Doctors, nurses and counsellors offer counselling and compassion.

“We had a moving meeting with Iraqi refugees whose emotional stories brought tears to our eyes. At the end of the meeting every one of them prayed to receive Jesus in their hearts. We had lunch with them while my brother Jamal handed each refugee a foodstuff parcel.”

In April 2020 Amanda and I visited the Love in Action refugee project in Amman Jordan. There we met up with Jamal Hashweh.

Jamal is from a refugee family himself. He knows what it is to have to leave his country, his home and come to a foreign place to start all over again. He explains, “When we visit refugees in their scant accommodation, we tell them we’ve been through it. We understand.”

In the last 30 years 2 to 3 million refugees have flooded into Jordan from Iraq, Syria and other neighbouring countries. Around 1 million remain to this day. They have left everything and now have nothing. They receive very little official help. Voluntary agencies such as Love in Action do what they can to assist.

The centre supplies regular food parcels for families who have little or no food. There are classes to teach language skills and offer other vocational training to help re-establish dignity and step towards self-sufficiency.

Jamal continues, “As we show them love in action, not only by words but by caring for them, praying for them, visiting them in their homes. We try to help as much as possible.”

The Love in Action Centre is open to all, both those from Christian and Muslim backgrounds as well as those who have no religion.

The center is in a neigbourhood of Amman where thousands of refugee families are housed. Most of them are in desperate need for essentials. Jamal is grateful for the provision of the refugee centre, “The Lord gave us this place, a kind of shelter, where people can come and enjoy a time of peace, get some trauma counselling and get some spiritual message. Also to learn some skills that will enable them to become self-sustaining.”

Jamal envisions having many more centres built on the model of showing  Jesus’ love in action.

Concluding Jamal says, “Thank you for praying for us. Thank you for all you can do with us. This ministry is for Him, for his glory.”

Please do what you can to support this worthy cause.

We just got back from Jordan where Amanda and I ministered in several churches.
It was so good to see the work of the believers serving the large numbers of refugees from
Syria and Iraq.

BACK TO BRAZIL

Before going to Jordan, we ministered in Brazil. Amanda joined me for 2 weeks and I stayed
on for 3 more. We visited 5 different cities, preaching in some new churches as well as
developing our existing church relationships.

REFUGEES LOST EVERYTHING

There are some 2 million refugees in Jordan without work or income who rely on voluntary groups for any help they can obtain. 

Believers demonstrate the love of Christ and raise finance to meet the needs of those who have nowhere else to turn.

PULSO YOUTH MINISTRY

Hope for young offenders in Brazil’s juvenile detention centres as Biorki inspires them to take up writing and performing rap music as a means of self-expression.

The gospel is preached and the love of Christ is demonstrated.

Thank you for your prayers and support.
