Looking for a way to help make a difference in the lives of some families who have been caught up in the war in the Holy Lands in addition to upholding them in prayer?

Looking for a way to help make a difference in the lives of some families who have been caught up in the war in the Holy Lands in addition to upholding them in prayer? We have partnered with Grace Tours and Good Shepherd Travel to obtain a box of handcrafted olive wood goods, including pendants, crosses, figurines, and nativities, from several Palestinian Christian families in Bethlehem. Palestinian Christians are a minority of a minority in the Holy Lands. These artisan families rely on pilgrims and tourists coming through the area to earn a living, but with the war, all groups have stopped visiting. By purchasing the olive wood goods, you are helping these families earn a living during the war. If you would like to support the Palestinian Christian community, the items will be available for purchase in the Gathering Area in between services on Sundays and in the Multimedia Coordinator’s Office during the week Tuesdays through Thursdays. Prices range from $3 through $50. Proceeds will be distributed directly to the families through the Bethlehem Bible College. Thank you to the individual donors as well as the UWF, Student Ministries, and the Multimedia Ministry for their contributions in obtaining the box.
