Stay or go? Palestinian Christians in the West Bank face this dilemma. In this video, Shahinda Nassar explains the pain she feels when her 16-year-old daughter presses her to leave Bethlehem, as well as the obligation she feels to maintain the Christian presence.

At Friends of the Holy Land we are committed to support families like Shahinda's to stay in their homes; in the land where Jesus once walked 

With ecumenical Church partners in the Holy Land, we seek to strengthen the Christian community as a resilient presence in the place that gave Christianity to the world, as with them we work and pray for reconciliation and peace.
