Julia Fisher talks to Burghard Schunkert – Today we’re returning to Bethlehem to finish our tour of Lifegate – a new centre run by a German Christian called Burghard Schunkert which aims to help disabled children and young people reach their full potential. Parts of the building are still not finished and we start today’s tour in a rather dark room – Burghard takes up the story.
Our aim is to build bridges… To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide.
