Pray for our students as they submit their final exams next month. A few will be presenting their final projects. May the Lord use them as instruments of growth and change in His Kingdom.
As some of you might know, in Bethlehem we celebrate Easter twice, therefore, it is a long season of celebrations. However, Easter is not a yearly occasion but rather a lifetime of joy and victory over sin and evil. So, despite the current situation, let us continue to celebrate and give thanks for a new life, for peace, and the goodness of God!
Restrictions of the occupation have increased since the war. Very few people are granted permits to enter Jerusalem and celebrate the season of resurrection. Please pray for a time when we all can worship in peace, without fear and restrictions.
During this time of the year, the Shepherd Society (the social arm of Bethlehem Bible College) works hard to reflect the light and love of Jesus to the families in Bethlehem. This month they distributed around 450 food parcels to the needy (check here), and will distribute still another 50 next month. Please pray that our outreach is effective and that the seeds we are planting through this ministry will grow.
On May 21, the Christ at the Checkpoint Conference will take place here at the college. Please pray for our safety and for our voices to be heard worldwide.
