ISRAEL AND PALESTINE… A Conversation About Peace
Thirty people gathered on Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 7:30 PM for JOY Ministry’s “ISRAEL AND PALESTINE…
A Conversation about Peace.” David Lloyd, Sandra Olewine, and David Pine shared their experiences, observations, analysis and expertise on the region and the challenges to piece in that corner of our earth, sacred to so many pilgrims of faith.
We are so appreciative of their leadership and guidance in this conversation.
