Healing in a Holy Land
How about some good news from the Middle East! The Lutheran World Federation (LWF)-run Augusta Victoria Hospital (AVH) in Jerusalem provides life-saving healthcare to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, and is the subject of a new documentary I produced for Greater Chicago Broadcast Ministries.

The AVH is an important pillar in the Palestinian health system and is widely acknowledged in governmental and church circles for its excellent treatment and care. The hospital recently sent voluntary medical teams to Gaza to help treat the injured in the conflict

This is a video I produced for Mark Brown and the Lutheran World Federation Jerusalem‘s Augusta Victoria Hospital. There is an urgent need for elder care and palliative medicine in Palestine and Israel. Augusta Victoria Hospital is responding to that need by building a 120-bed facility for elder care and palliative care on the east side of the hospital. This facility will help both patients and their families cope with the difficulties of their circumstances.

What was once a dusty, rocky, dirt field is now a state-of-the-art soccer pitch with artificial turf and lights that normally stay on late into the night as community clubs and neighborhood children practice and play on the field.

LWF Jerusalem purposely held this video for release on July 7th, to coincide with the beginning of the final week of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brasil. Many of the kids in the video dream of being a great footballer one day. With much sadness, the release of the video also comes at a time of tragedies and heightened tensions in Jerusalem. As if to express the collective grief and frustration of the community, the field has been dark and silent on recent nights.

This is one of a series of videos I produced this year with Mark Brown for The Lutheran World Federation Jerusalem Program.

The Lutheran World Federation Jerusalem‘s Vocational Training program instructs students in the areas of carpentry, auto mechanics, metalwork, plumbing, and telecommunications. The centers in Beit Hanina and in Ramallah provide youth with a creative outlet for their energy and give them skills to compete in the difficult job market.

This series of clips, released on Mondays throughout the summer of 2014, helps to tell the stories of patients served by Augusta Victoria Hospital, of young women and men trained at one of the LWF’s vocational training centers, and of children and young adults taking advantage of the refurbished and lighted LWF sports field on the Mount of Olives. There will also be clips describing two major projects — an elder care facility and a housing and conference facility — that are planned for the LWF Mount of Olives property in Jerusalem.

Christian pilgrims from around the world join local Palestinian Christians as they gather on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Old City waving palm and olive branches and processing along the traditional route taken by Jesus of Nazareth on his triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

This year (2014) both the Western and Eastern Christian calendars coincide making the crowds especially large and robust. Fun was had by all. Hosanna!
