Young men in the village were alerted and came to the assistance of the family.


When they arrived the settlers backed off, but soon … Continue reading

“They want to kill,” is how Fares Muhammed Ibrahim simply put it. And on February 2nd, “they” very nearly did.


At approximately 1pm Maysar Abd Al Majeed Ghanem, Fares’ 61 year … Continue reading

Choir bus hit by settlers on way back from Nablus

17 December 2011 | Notes from Bethlehem

I was hoping to write about something more pleasant regarding our Christmas ministry in Nablus. I was hoping to write about the usual; singing and rejoicing with the believers there. As always, Nablus concert was special. The Anglican church where we usually go was full. There was joy. The choir really did well. It was a real blessing!

On our way there I remembered the first time the choir went to Nablus in 2007. Back then it was really difficult to enter Nablus as it was under Israeli military siege. We had to change … Continue reading

Israeli police and soldiers documented the attack, but claimed that they did not know who committed it. Many people are skeptical due to the fact … Continue reading
