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 let us continue to celebrate and give thanks for new life and the goodness of God!
Restrictions of the occupation have increased, mainly during the season of resurrection. For example, the number of people allowed to enter the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Saturday for the Holy Fire service was reduced by 80%. Moreover, every year, Israeli forces physically assault celebrants who gather in the area. Please pray for a time when we all can worship in peace, without 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 300 food parcels to the needy. Please pray that our outreach is effective and that the seeds we are planting through this ministry will grow.
Pray for our students, as they will be submitting their final exams next month. May the Lord use them as instruments of growth and change in His Kingdom.
