Israel Tour Information Request
We have another tour to Israel planned for October 26 - November 8, 2011. This trip is planned for both the newcomers who are experiencing Israel for the first time and for those are returning to the land. I want to invite everyone and I encourage you to consider sending your pastors to Israel. The pastors have a responsibility to educate their congregations and therefore their own education must continue perpetually. What better place to continue their education than in the Land of the Book and with the people of the Book?
The Palestinian National Flag hoists Palestinian Mission in Washington
Posted on: 27 January, 2011 | 11am
On 18 January 2011 a step was made that has many Americans and Israelis concerned. For the first time, the PLO hoisted its flag above its Washington mission, saying the symbolic step shows progress in the US-Palestinian relationship.
“It’s about time that this flag that symbolizes the struggle of the Palestinian people for self-determination and statehood be raised in the United States,” PLO Chief of Mission Maen Areikat said. “I think it indicates the willingness of the American administration to deal with the realities on the ground.”
The timing of the raising of the flag was telling. The flag was raised after a short ceremony, and took place after Russia reaffirmed its recognition of a PA state in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem.
