**The Olive Tree reconciliation Fund has now stopped receiving donations.**

“There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven”

And after 15 wonderful years, it is time for us to withdraw and make room for others – the next generation – to carry on the work in their own unique way.

Connect

Stories help us to connect with others. Listen to somebody share their story and you enter their world. All the stories you hear or read on this website are from people who believe in Jesus and live in Israel – Jews and Arabs/Palestinians. Then ask yourself the question, ‘What is the connection between their life and mine and why should I care?’ 

Understand

Stories help us to understand the times. As Christians, whether Jew or Gentile, we all share the same faith and the same Bible. Imagine walking around Jerusalem and taking the path from the Old City across the Kidron Valley to the Garden of Gethsemane and then standing on the Mount of Olives – the very place where Jesus ascended into heaven and where He will return to. Understand the roots of our faith are here!

Reconciliation

Stories of reconciliation between ‘enemies’ surprise us! In the context of the Middle East this means Jews and Arabs and these stories are at the heart of what God is doing in Israel today. Muslims becoming believers in the God of Israel and praying for their Jewish neighbours. Former Orthodox religious Jews meeting their Messiah. Arab and Jewish pastors meeting together to pray for each other. God has no favourites. All have a part to play in the story that is Israel today. 

"For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations."

Ephesians 2:14 - 15

"I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd."

John 10:16

"This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus."

Ephesians 3:6

"He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit."

Ephesians 2:17-18

"His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility."

Ephesians 2:15-16
