Friends and family - After over 5 years serving overseas in the Middle East, Gloria, Jonathan and their two girls Emaline (2) and Lily (1) returned to the US in the wake of pressure they faced to leave the country or risk imprisonment. Along with trauma from working in the region (including time in jail and health challenges from the stress of living in the region), they faced many challenges (e.g. rolling daily electric blackouts, healthcare access challenges, and physical safety challenges from the concerns from the Arab-Israeli conflict). Their desire to return to serve in the Middle East is not an option right now.

To help them process their trauma, our family is raising funds for a six-week long re-entry counseling program (and living expenses) for people facing trauma and missionaries coming off the field. (That they recently just finished) This was something they desperately needed to learn how to cope with issues; they are in a tough situation. Would you please donate any amount today to close the gap in funding to help the Haddads who served and discipled many people in the Middle East.

Funds needed:

$1,500 for flights and bags to Fresno

$1,000 for shipping personal luggage and belongings to their new home

$19,900 for six weeks of wholistic counseling and care

$3,000 for childcare during the counseling program

$1,200 for groceries, diapers and other practical needs

This is a chance to make a real difference in Gloria and Jonathan's journey as they return home, rebuild their lives, and act on what God is calling them to next.
