We will also be featuring a multimedia presentation about Israel by fellow OBU graduates Nick Burt and Kevin Benard.

Having been to Israel nine times, I’ve come to appreciate the richness and complexity of this land – which is holy to Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike – as well as the people who live there. More than a historical treasure, Israel is a vibrant, modern community and home to people of many faiths, worldviews, and backgrounds. Walking its streets and meeting its residents has stirred both my senses and emotions, and through this brief show, I hope you will see and feel a bit of that deep connection all of us have to this important and fascinating region.
