A word from our
Chief Executive...
As this latest newsletter is being published, we are preparing for our
next Week of Health and Healing here in Nazareth. As we are working to
strengthen the Christian identity of the Nazareth Trust, this week has become
a regular feature in our annual calendar.
This year’s programme, held in the final
week of November, includes a number of
activities to promote healthy lifestyles as well
as the spiritual care of our staff and visitors
under the theme “Sharing the Journey
Together”. We are seeking to create space
for God’s grace in the busy operations of the
Nazareth Trust and integrate spiritual care
into the professional healthcare and clinical
treatment for which the Nazareth Hospital is
known.
The spiritual care component of this week
is again led by a team from the Crowhurst
Christian Healing Centre based in the south
of England under the leadership of Suzanne
Owen, a chaplain at the centre with over
thirty years of nursing experience both as
a practitioner and educator. Part of our aim
for the week is to pilot a ministry of prayer
and presence to all those who request this
at their point of need. This will serve as
a trial for the new expanded Chaplaincy
Programme, a partnership of local and
international volunteer chaplains to provide
24/7 Christian presence and spiritual care to
staff, visitors and volunteers of the Nazareth
Trust. I introduced the Chaplaincy programme
in our last newsletter, and I am pleased that
the development of this exciting new ministry
initiative has been progressing well and that
we will be launching it in the New Year.
As we rapidly approach the end of another
year it is humbling to reflect on the many
lives impacted by our mission and ministry
here in Nazareth. We could not achieve this
without God’s guidance, provision and grace
and we are grateful for His blessing on our
work, as we see many projects progressing
and flourishing. Please keep our staff and
volunteers, our work and all those who benefit
from it in your prayers and join us in our
ministry of prayer, presence and proclamation
in Jesus’ hometown.

Nazareth International Volunteer
Chaplaincy – Update
Since our last newsletter, we have continued to develop our vision for this
new Chaplaincy programme. Its aim is to expand our spiritual care offer
to be able to provide a ministry of prayer and presence to all when they
need it most. As physical care for patients at our hospital never stops, so
spiritual care is needed around the clock.
To be able to cover this need, we are
looking to recruit a pool of international
volunteer chaplains, who will come to
Nazareth for periods of two to twelve
months.
We have now found our Chaplaincy
Coordinator, Lourens Geuze, who will
lead the programme and work together
with our Chaplain, Rev Suheil Bathish,
and our Spiritual Director, Frank Kantor.
Part of Lourens’ role will be to establish
partnerships with churches, Christian
organisations and colleges with the aim of
recruiting greater numbers of international
volunteers who feel called to serve within
this dedicated programme. Lourens will
be joined in Nazareth by his wife Rebecca
Geuze, who will also work for the Trust as
our new International Relations Coordinator.
We look forward to welcoming them in
January 2020.
Hailing from the Netherlands, this is not
the first international move for the pair
who both studied Business Management
at university. While Lourens pursued
postgraduate studies in Religion &
Education in Belgium, Rebecca’s career saw
her move to Belgium, where the couple
are currently based. As a team they have
already spent a season ministering in the
Middle East as well. A year ago, having
spent a decade living abroad, the Geuzes
found themselves praying for direction from
the Lord, torn between returning to the
Middle East or home to the Netherlands.
During a time of prayer and fasting, they
reached out to a number of organisations
in the Middle East. Eventually, it was during
a meeting with Frank Kantor, that they
were inspired by the organisation’s vision
for Nazareth and convinced that the Lord
has prepared work for them there. “We
feel called to serve among the peoples of
the Middle East and to encourage local
believers to build the Kingdom of God in
this part of the world,” explains Lourens.
“We are excited about the future of
the Nazareth Trust and look forward to
strengthening the Christian identity of the
organisation,” he continues. “We are really
impressed by the passion, commitment and
professionalism of the staff we have met
and we feel honoured to become part of
their team.” While the couple are focused
on preparing their hearts for what God has
in store for them, Lourens admits that they
are also looking forward to once again
enjoying knafeh and kafta, just two of the
culinary gems that add to the cultural allure
of this distinct part of the world.

Give thanks for Lourens and Rebecca as they bring their talents to our
work in Nazareth and keep them in your prayers as they prepare for this
significant change and their move to Nazareth, for smooth transitions and for
administrative challenges such as visas to fall into place.
Pray also for the continuing effort to recruit volunteer chaplains and to raise
funds that will allow us to run the chaplaincy programme as planned.
Should you be interested to know more about the International Volunteer Chaplaincy
Programme that will commence next year, send an email to chaplaincy@nazarethtrust.org
and we will forward you an information pack for your prayerful consideration.

A year of achievements at the Nazareth Hospital
When the end of another year approaches, we tend to take stock and
look back. It has turned out to be a year of significant achievements for
our Nazareth Hospital. Join us in giving thanks for the goodness God has
shown as we stay true to our motto of “Healing in the name of Jesus”.
We were pleased to receive another positive Ministry of Health report this year, this time
for the inspection of our Neonatal Unit and also for the Infection Control inspection. We
also received a special award from the Ministry for patient safety.
We have secured a licence and
funding to start a new fertility clinic,
providing a culturally sensitive service
and the first and only of its kind for the
Arab population of Nazareth and the
surrounding area. We are partnering
with Assuta, the leading provider of
fertility services in Israel, which will
greatly help in establishing this new
clinic. Building work to accommodate
the clinic has started and should be
completed by July next year.
June saw our much longed-for
Stroke Unit opened, including a new
outpatient neurology clinic and CT
scanner. We have also been granted
a license to run a second CT scanner,
which is in the process of being
acquired. Now stroke patients in
the greater Nazareth area are able
to receive a timely diagnosis and
potentially lifesaving treatment from
our neurologists.
The upgrade to our Maternity Unit has started. So far, we have renovated four rooms,
with work on another two in progress. Our expectant mothers have loved these
comfortable new facilities. Next steps will include a complete overhaul of our delivery
suite, which we urgently need to start next year.
We have been blessed with an exceptionally generous gift
from Canada for the expansion of our Dialysis Department.
Our hospital has seen a steady increase in dialysis patients,
with our existing facilities filled to capacity even after added
treatment shifts. Creating capacity to run additional treatment
stations is urgent and we hope to start work next year.

Anticipating Christmas in Nazareth amidst
the darkness and anxiety of our world
As we once again anticipate the season of Advent and Christmas, we
are reminded that in the midst of this troubled and divided world we are
called to watch and wait for the Lord’s coming to us as the humble babe
of Bethlehem, and celebrate his appearance as Immanuel – God with
us. The joyful news we proclaim is that the true Light which gives light to
every person has come into the world bringing hope against darkness,
which is sorely needed in our world.
Under the theme “Sharing Joy Together”
staff of the Nazareth Trust have made
plans to spread the Christmas message
in the hometown of Jesus. These include
the near life-size nativity cave at our
hospital entrance and a display of lights
and decorations around the campus,
which will be illuminated at the start of
Advent. After this ceremony, Nazareth
Village will host a special event for
our staff and their families with carol
singing in the synagogue and traditional
Christmas fare in the dining area.
The School of Nursing will hold a
Christmas party for all staff and students,
there will be a special Christmas-themed
staff lecture at our hospital auditorium
and our traditional Carols by Candlelight
service will be held there on the evening
of 22nd December.
Christmas appeal, which will raise funds
for food hampers and meal vouchers
from restaurants to benefit local families
who are less fortunate.
The final activity before Christmas
in Nazareth is always the impressive
Christmas Parade through the main
streets of the city. Our Nazareth
Village will once again be leading this
procession with volunteers dressed in
first-century costumes as Joseph and
Mary with the possibility of a real donkey
added for authenticity.
As we come to celebrate Christmas this
year, the Nazareth Trust would like to
wish all our supporters a very joyful and
peaceful Christmas and a hopeful New
Year!
We are also planning to spread
Christmas cheer among patients,
their families and the wider Nazareth
community during Advent with visits from
Santa, Christmas bazaars, carol singing
in the wards and other festive activities.
Our staff also contribute to our annual

Remembering
Nancy Martin
It was with great sadness we learnt of the passing of Nancy Martin on
16th September 2019.
Nancy and her husband Bob were great
servants of the Nazareth Hospital and
School of Nursing, living here with their
family for a total of 17 years until 1995.
Nancy was for many years the Director
of the Nazareth School of Nursing. She
is known and remembered for her love
and compassion for the students and
staff, and for her determination over so
many years in paving the way for what
the School is today: a four-year battle
to get the Ministry of Health to accredit
the School for the training of registered
nurses, recruitment of students from the
villages, expanding from one room in the
hospital to today having its own campus
and now nearly 400 students each
year. Our 2017 accreditation to offer BA
degrees to students was a direct result of
the prayers and determination of Nancy
and her colleagues.
Since returning to the US, Nancy
remained in touch with the work in
Nazareth and continued to develop many
close and deep friendships here. She also
served for many years as a member of the
Board of the Nazareth Trust.
Dr Amal with Nancy and Bob Martin in 2018

On 30th September we held a memorial
service for Nancy in the Chapel on
our hospital campus, which gave her
many friends and former colleagues
the opportunity to come together and
pay tribute to her. The following week,
our CEO Richard Mayhew and Nancy’s
friend and former colleague Sawsan
Abdo travelled to Lancaster in the USA
to represent the Nazareth Trust during
Nancy’s memorial service there.
The many tributes given spoke of Nancy’s
deep faith and dedication to her work and
were a great testament to her continuing
legacy in Nazareth. Richard Mayhew
commented, “I sense that her calling to
the work in Nazareth never left Nancy.
Neither did her continuing love and
compassion for the people of Nazareth
nor for the students at the school. She
touched the lives of many, with her faith in
God, her resoluteness and determination
through all the challenges.”
Dr Amal Khazin, Nancy’s successor
as Director of the School of Nursing
remembers her especially for her great
kindness and for how respected and
loved she was by all the staff of both
school and hospital. “She was a mother
to everyone and she overcame her
difficulties through prayer. Her words
were true and healing. She had a great
effect on my faith and taught me how
to love Jesus, planting the seed of faith
and prayer in me. Her main goal was to
empower her students. She wanted to
see every student succeed. Hence she
wanted to establish a student fund for
those who need help.”
Nancy and her family have set up the
Nancy Martin Memorial Scholarship
fund to sponsor needy students at the
Nazareth Academic School of Nursing
– a wonderful tribute to her lifelong
dedication to nursing education and her
connection to Nazareth. If you would like
to contribute, you can do so via our US
partner Nazareth Project Inc. at
www.nazarethproject.org or contact
npi@nazarethproject.org
Nazareth Academic School of Nursing – latest facts and figures:
Since its foundation in 1924, 2,300 students have graduated from our School.
Currently, we have 16 staff, not counting external lecturers, and 428 students across
our Career Retraining, Registered Nursing and BA courses.
Of our students, 73% are female, with 75% of Muslim and 21% of Christian faith.
37% of our students come from Nazareth and the surrounding area, with the rest
being recruited from further afield.
We give thanks for the high number of students who have enrolled for the course to
transition from a BA to a nursing degree and for the 16 new students who commenced the
third BA Nursing Degree course at the Nazareth Academic School of Nursing in October.
Pray for wisdom and grace for Dr Amal and the staff at the School as they
continue teaching their different nursing programmes in partnership with Emek
Yizrael College.

Vartan family connections
In memory of John Vartan
13 September 1937 -14 April 2019
John Brian Robertson Vartan, who
passed away earlier this year, did more
to reconnect the family name VARTAN
to The Nazareth Hospital than anyone
else in the modern era. Yet he did not
grow up imbued with or immersed
in the legacy of his Armenian greatgrandfather,
who started a modest clinic
in Nazareth in 1861.
John, the youngest son of his GP father
and Scottish mother, who taught dancing,
was raised in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire.
Sport and a catalogue of very impressive
achievements in a wide variety of
disciplines dominated his youth, and
indeed the rest of his life.
John met his wife Frances at a tennis
tournament. They were married in 1963
and had a son and daughter, Andrew and
Caroline. Having started work at a firm
of stockbrokers in 1959, John’s strengths
in dealing with people slowly but surely
established him in the financial sector and
in 1994, together with Andrew, he set up his
own firm, Vartan & Son, in Peterborough.
During a business trip to Israel in 1995
John took the opportunity to contact the
Nazareth Hospital, and Dr Bob Martin,
the then CEO, went to meet him in
Jerusalem. Within a day or two John was
in Nazareth and being shown round the
hospital.
John enthusiastically embarked on
a programme of fundraising for the
hospital by participating in Nazareth Bike
Rides – five in all. Eventually, he went on
to serve on the Board of EMMS Nazareth
from 2003 until the 150th celebrations in
2012. During his time on the Board the
charity adopted the new identity of ‘The
Nazareth Trust’.
John was a man of very high standards
in all his endeavours, with the integrity
and rectitude to lead others by example.
He was one of humanity’s warm and
very special characters, and it was truly a
privilege to share his acquaintance. The
Nazareth Hospital, and Nazareth Trust,
owe him much.
Prof Peter Turnpenny (with help from Caroline Taylor, John’s daughter

Looking back into the Nazareth Trust’s history of over 150 years provides some great
inspiration for our work today and our plans for the future. Doctor Pacradooni Kaloost
Vartan who, inspired by Jesus’ own example, started our work in Nazareth by setting
up a small 4-bed clinic to heal the sick, has lived on to be remembered. Vartan’s
descendants still feel a connection with his and the Trust’s mission to this day.
A family visit from New Zealand
This summer, we were pleased to
welcome another of our founder’s greatgrandchildren
to Nazareth. Bob Vartan
and his wife Jan had travelled from the
other side of the globe to retrace the
footsteps of their ancestor.
Bob told us that he was aware of his greatgrandfather’s
history from a very young
age. He actually had the Bible used by
Doctor Vartan himself handed down within
his branch of the family and made sure that
it was returned to the Nazareth Hospital
in 2017. Living in New Zealand, and now
retired, it had been top of Bob and Jan’s
bucket list to connect with other family
members and to return to the northern
hemisphere.
They felt inspired by Vartan’s desire
to work for the good of others and the
continuation of that work through several
generations really motivated them to come
to Nazareth.
Upon returning home, Bob wrote: “What
the Nazareth Trust has achieved is a
fitting memorial of the vision and work
undertaken by Pacradooni Kaloost Vartan
all those years ago. We were particularly
impressed with the ambitious plans for
the future development of the Nazareth
Hospital and the Nazareth Village and will
keep an eye on the Trust website to see
what progress is being made.”
Bob and Jan Vartan were also able to
give a generous donation towards the
refurbishment of the Doctor’s House,
which, through housing our volunteers,
provides such vital support for both the
work of the hospital and the work of the
Nazareth Village. Our volunteers come to
Nazareth very much motivated by their
faith to serve others – a trait they have
in common with Doctor Vartan, thereby
continuing his legacy in Jesus’ hometown.
During their visit, Bob and Jan took part
in a re-dedication ceremony and unveiled
a new plaque naming part of the hospital
building after Dr Vartan. In his speech, Bob
shared how very impressed they were by
the work undertaken by the Trust, the high
regard for the heritage of its founder, and
that their family name still means so much
to the people in Nazareth.

SERVE Doctor’s House
renovation in progress
In our last newsletter we told you about the need to renovate our main
volunteer accommodation, the Doctor’s House. After years of piecemeal
maintenance, this old building, which has stood on our hospital campus
for over 100 years, has had to have some serious work done to make it
into a safe and comfortable environment for our many volunteers from
around the world.
The renovation began at the end of July
and has been moving along rapidly.
Most of the building was pretty much
gutted and the roof was taken down
completely to install a new one, including
strengthening of support beams and
wood preservation. The old ceilings and
windows have been removed and the
internal layout has been changed, with
closing of old doorways and opening of
new ones, which means every bedroom
will have its own bathroom. New sewage
and plumbing have been fitted, including
a new pump for water heating. The
first fitting of new electric cabling is
done, together with infrastructure for a
sprinkler system and air conditioning.
finishing the new doorframes, installing
new windows and suspended ceilings,
plastering, tiling, painting, finishing
all electrical and plumbing work and
fitting new kitchens and bathrooms.
We’re hoping to start decorating as
early as December, and, barring any
unforeseeable delays, the work will be
finished by February.
This renovation means a whole new way
of doing things, from the way we present
the building, to the way we care for it,
and to the way it will function for our
It’s an amazing time! No more cracks, no
more flaking plaster, no more low water
pressure, no more electrics that cause
the breakers to go down. And the whole
building has been strengthened to make
sure it gets through the next 100 years.
There’s a lot still to be done, like

SERVErs and guests. We will be looking
to source new furniture and bedding
to equip and maintain our shared
communal space and to really use the
building to support our community of
volunteers and guests.
With all this to do, we really need your
support. There are opportunities to help
on every scale, from helping with the
purchase of individual items of furniture
like a full-length mirror at £22/$27 to
sponsoring the equipping of a whole
suite, at £3,000/$3,500, and everything
in between.
We are so thankful for all those who have
helped us already. Let’s work together
to make sure this house is a welcoming
home for all those who have yet to come!
Please give thanks for our contractors, for their skills and competence and pray for
their work being carried out safely and without accidents.
Pray for good progress of all the work that still needs to be done and a
timely completion, so that the Doctor’s House can start accommodating
volunteers again very soon.
Remember also our SERVE staff team, Christine Farah and Jane
Shurrush, in your prayers as they cope with the temporary upheaval of
finding alternative places for our volunteers to stay.

Ministry trip to Jordan
Upon receiving a gift designated for staff enrichment, Maha, our
Nazareth Village Director decided, “that since God chose to bless our
staff with this gift, we ought to think about how we as a team can bless
others.” She reports how plans unfolded.
Our staff decided that the money should
be used to help fund a weekend trip to
Amman, Jordan. But rather than simply
focusing on having fun sightseeing and
team-building, we also wanted to use
our time to help the children of Christian
refugees from Iraq living in Jordan.
Most refugees from Iraq are Christians
escaping murderous persecution, but
there are also refugees from war-torn
Syria in Jordan. Unable to find work
legally, these refugees struggle to
provide for their families while their
children do not have the right to state
education in Jordan.
One local church has been responding
to this need by running a school for
refugee children. We had already been
supporting their families by selling
artistic goods that they produce in our
Nazareth Village Gift Shop. However,
this was a wonderful opportunity to do

more. The church leaders explained
the biggest need for these children was
basic school supplies for the upcoming
year and food for their families.
So, we started planning fun activities for
our visit to the children and fundraising
for school supplies. In the end, the
office supplier who we approached
for “back-to-school” materials made a
generous donation of 60 backpacks,
drinking bottles and pencil cases. One
staff member personally bought sets of
coloured pencils to add to the gifts. It
was amazing to see how God gave us
more resources with which to bless the
refugees, enabling us to better serve
them.
When the time came, 29 of us (staff and
spouses) set off for Jordan and on the
way to Amman stopped to run a 2-hour
mini-camp for the refugee children.
We showed them our Nazareth Village
children’s video, which explains life in
the First Century and the story of Jesus.
Our staff then guided them through
the rest of the activities in smaller
groups, including fun outdoor games
and teaching a worship song in Arabic,
English and French, as well as facepainting
and dressing up in first-century
replica costume. The children also took
photos with one of our ‘villagers’ and we
made sure the organisers had copies for
them. There were many hugs for our staff
from the children and much laughter.
At the end, we gave each child a new
school backpack, drinking bottle and a
filled pencil case. With the $3,000 our
staff had raised, we were able to give a
food hamper with supplies for two weeks
to each child’s family. What a wonderful
opportunity this was for us as staff in a
Christian organisation to put our faith
into action and see the provision of
God, who supplied above and beyond
what we originally hoped to bring. This
combined holiday, staff-development and
ministry trip was a first for the Nazareth
Village staff and we are praying for more
opportunities like this to show the love of
Christ in action.

Latest addition to
Nazareth Village
Pottery was so common in the biblical period and pot shards are
fundamental in dating archeological sites from all periods of human
habitation. Since the Bible speaks of the potter and clay and applies the
image to spiritual lessons, we thought that a Potter’s Workshop would
be an ideal addition to the tour at Nazareth Village.
At the beginning of this year we
commissioned an archeological team to
do research for us and explored together
where would be best to build the facilities
associated with a potter. During the
summer, our least busy time of year, we
began building. The work was mostly done
before the heavy rains of winter started.
Alongside the workshop, complete with
potter’s wheel and drying shelves, we built
Settling Pools where the clay mixture is
made; and also a large and a small kiln or
oven for ‘firing’ the clay, after which it can
be used or sold.
The Bible is rich with significant passages
relating to the potter and clay. The word
for potter is related to the verb “to form”
– such as when God “formed” man in
Genesis. One may even say that God
shaped man “from the dust of the earth”
with his hands as a potter forms clay. Isaiah
applies this metaphor to the whole people
of God: “But now, O LORD, you are our
Father; we are the clay, and you our potter;
we are all the work of your hand.” (Isaiah
64:8)
When Paul speaks of God’s choice of
the elect he applies this same metaphor
to illustrate it: “Does not the potter have
power over the clay; from the same lump
to make one vessel for honor and another
for dishonor?” (Romans 9:21)
We look forward to adding the new
Potter’s Workshop to our tour. Please pray
that it will help bring visitors closer to the
life Jesus would have known and to the
words of the Bible.
Did you know?
Today Nazareth Village has 40 members of staff and about 10 volunteers who help
mainly with guiding visitors from around the world in different languages.
In 2018 we welcomed nearly 120,000 visitors through our gates. This year, we have
seen another increase with over 86,000 visitors in the first 9 months already.

REFLECTIONS ON THE
THREE SEAS CHALLENGE
In our last newsletter we featured an article about the 2019 Jesus Trail
Sponsored Walk. In this edition we turn to a report about the Three Seas
Challenge bike ride, which happened at the same time as part of the
Nazareth Challenge. Kate Gerrish, one of this year’s cyclists, reflects on
her experience.
It was with a sense of adventure that our group of nine male and three female cyclists set
off on the ‘Three Seas Challenge’, a 5-day sponsored ride to raise money for the Maternity
Unit at the Nazareth Hospital. We cycled over 240 miles, much of it off road, and climbed
over 17,000ft in total. Our route took us from Jaffa on the Mediterranean Sea via Jerusalem
and Bethlehem down to Jericho, then along the Jordon Valley to Galilee and a final climb
up to Nazareth.
The ride lived up to its name and was indeed challenging at times. Israel had benefited
from much-needed rain in the preceding month, which meant that the countryside was
unusually green and wild flowers abundant. However, it also meant that we had some
huge puddles to negotiate and in one case a muddy quagmire that defeated even the
most skilled mountain biker. We forded rivers, clambered up a vertical embankment where
a bridge had been washed away, and pushed up and down steep hills when the route was
too taxing to ride. We learnt the hard way that when the itinerary said ‘largely down hill’
for the route from Jerusalem to Jericho (the lowest city on earth) the 3,300ft descent was
supplemented by 2,600ft of climb as we negotiated steep wadis in the desert.

Despite, or perhaps because of these challenges, it was a truly amazing trip. It was such
a privilege to escape from the tourist routes and ride through areas of Israel and the
West Bank that have changed little since biblical times. Experiencing the land, rather
than just the tourist sights, provided a new and richer understanding of the Old and New
Testaments – whether it was negotiating the remote valley of Elah where David fled to
escape Saul in the Old Testament, riding across the remote desert from Jerusalem to
Jericho which was the location for Jesus’ story of the good Samaritan, or speeding past
Mount Tabor, which according to Christian tradition is the mount of Jesus’ transfiguration.
Our arrival at the Nazareth Hospital gave us all a great sense of achievement. We felt relief
at arriving safely, joy at the warm welcome afforded us by the hospital staff, pleasure at
having been able to help the hospital, and sadness that our band of intrepid cyclists would
soon be parting company. As we reflected on our time together we were mindful of God’s
protection throughout our travels, of His blessing from the warm fellowship we enjoyed
as a team and with Christians we met along the way, of His abundant provision in terms of
wonderful food, comfortable shelter each night and practical support along the route, and
of His hand sustaining each of us throughout our journey.
