Babies Receive Heart Surgery in Israel [Christian org for Israeli, Palestinian, Iraqi babies]

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Shevet Achim, a non-profit Christian organization based in Israel, has been saving the lives of babies and children who would otherwise die without critical heart surgery.

Since its founding in 1994 by Jonathan Miles, Shevet Achim (Brothers United) has provided medical care for Palestinian children. In more recent years they've been able to transport children with critical heart conditions from Iraq to hospitals in Israel, as Iraqi medical centers aren't equipped to perform these complex procedures.

Reading profile after profile and seeing photos of the children evoke a profound sense of humility. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the life-giving ministry of Shevet Achim is a portrait of true humility and authentic Christian love.

Brings tears to my eyes. This is AUTHENTIC Christianity in action (helping all regardless of background).

Matt 5:45
In this way you show that you are children of your Father in heaven. He makes his sun rise on people whether they are good or evil. He lets rain fall on them whether they are just or unjust.
