our Saviour Jesus Christ,
now and for ever.
Amen.

Today in Hebron we visited the tombs of the Patriarchs & Matriarchs, walking the streets near settlements where Palestinians are not allowed which has resulted in a ghost town. Former IDF soldier from โBreaking the Silenceโ shared harrowing soldiersโ testimonies. Then lunch in South Hebron Hills.
