A delegation from the World Council of Churches visited Al-Makhrour in October and Alice addressed their assembly about what the global church can do.

"We need more support," she said. "Not just prayer — though prayer matters — but presence, voice, and solidarity that costs something."

The WCC published a full report on the visit, including Alice's appeal to churches around the world to make her family's struggle visible. You can read it at the World Council of Churches website.
