Also lists all the British sites outreaching to Jewish people where more info like this can be found. http://www.saltshakers.com . Some of the sites are run by Jewish believers [Messianic Jews]. Steve Maltz has brought out [2003] a book The Land of Many Names..Towards a Christian understanding of the Middle East conflict. Gary M Burge has brought out another book Whose Land? Whose Promises? What Christians are not being told about Israel and the Palestinians [2003].
Site about Messianic Jews in Israel http://www.caspari.com Click on Media review.
Also the USA intellectual apologetic site reaching out to Muslims http://answering-islam.org lists in its links USA Messianic Jewish sites from which some info can be gleaned. There are an amazing number of Messianic Jewish sites in the USA http://www.messianic.com http://www.workmatch.nl/workmap/links_naar_de_bron/MessianicJewishWebSites.htm http://users.eastlink.ca/~nertamid/MJAC.HTM [Messianic Jewish Alliance of Canada].
I assure Muslims that we Christians have a duty of care to them as well, and feel seriously disturbed by their troubles both in Israel and elsewhere. On both sides the non combatants are suffering. It seems from reading in newspapers that the Palestinians view the building of Jewish settlements on the West Bank and the shooting of stone throwing young people as the main provocations while the Jewish people constantly fear invasion and annihilation. Whatever is claimed as to whose land it is it is desperately necessary to remember no one owns any land, all of us are temporary residents in this world just as Abraham was, and we need to show kindness to our neighbour. Which the Torah commands [to treat the foreigner as one of yourselves]. As for Muslims, many feel the Quran can be interpreted to make efforts at peace while some feel war is advocated. Sadly I feel that if more care was shown to their people that they would soft pedal the war talk. Finally the Gospel [New Testament to us, Injil to Muslims] advocates non aggression and humanitarian aid in abundance with strenuous efforts to avoid conflict. We Christians have failed seriously. We must do better. Earnest frequent prayer plus whatever humanitarian aid we can give must supplement our Gospel message wherever we go with it.

A new idea is supporting national workers through UK or USA support organisations. Sponsoring children is fine, but how about sponsoring selected workers in the hope of achieving a lot more? Sponsoring immediately suggests an affordable amount e.g.£5 per month and results in correspondence with the worker and a sense of ownership of the work which is often lacking. Also national workers are often far more suited to pioneer work than Westerners and will go to more unpleasant places! Worldshare is one such organisation mentioned above. Novi Most International has just started this, see site address above. Have a look at the USA national worker support ministries at http://www.christianaid.org and http://www.globaladvance.org

Also UN's World Food Programme. And World Health organisation. Another growing area is micro credit schemes.http://www.stepaheadmed.org A very impressive agency is Christian Blind Mission Intl at http://www.cbmi.org
There are organisations specialising in Urban, slum work. Servants to Asia's Poor [New Zealand and UK] http://www.servantsasia.org is one. The organisations for street children mentioned above are mostly Urban. I expect that databases of Urban ministry organisations will emerge soon. An excellent overview of the Urban poor is the article from Lausanne Congress of World Evangelism, Thailand, 1980.Brilliant read. By the way, a quite different concept is Urban evangelisation, where it is recognised that the Church must expand in the great cities of [mainly] Asia where most of the population is, including the not poor. See Lausanne's esssay at
As well as Operation Mobilisation's ships another organisation has ships http://www.mercyships.org In fact they have taken over YWAM's Anastasis Mercy Ship.
