Julia Fisher talks to Shirya Yahav – Welcome to the Olive Tree and the continuing story of Shirya Yahav. Shirya’s grandparents came to Israel from Finland and settled in Tiberias in northern Israel. Without knowing any other believers in the land, her grandfather dedicated his life to giving away Bibles in Hebrew to the local population often being met with hostility. Shirya grew up in a very protective and close family so when the time came to leave school I asked her what her plans were. 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. olivetreefund.org
