Nazareth: Disciples Share The Good News

Sitting along the walls inside a replica of the synagogue similar to the one Jesus was accustomed to attending in his hometown, we opened our Bibles to Luke 4:14-21. As we read the passage, we could almost feel His passion, hear His authority, and sense that the audience was riveted to not only His words, but the power with which He uttered them. We were gripped ourselves by the acute awareness that as His disciples, we bear the responsibility and the high privilege of sharing with others the Good News of forgiveness of sin, freedom from oppression, and the favor of God.

With the words of Jesus still echoing within the small, simple synagogue, we had the privilege of meeting Botrus and A'Bir Mansour (pictured in gallery). This Christian Palestinian couple runs a school in Nazareth for 1200 students, K through 12. Botrus shared with us his own journey as a disciple, including his testimony of salvation. He then gave us the honor of praying for him. How thrilling to meet this humble man who is making disciples of young men and women in the next generation. In Nazareth!  How thrilled our Lord must be as Heaven surely applauds this dear couple.

The above post belongs to a number of vignettes written by Anne Graham Lotz from her 2013 trip to Israel. The pictures and videos are a compilation of those taken by iPads, iPhones, and cameras belonging to Anne and other tour members. All of Anne's site teachings were professionally videoed and in the near future, it will be our joy to share some of them with you. But we couldn't resist giving you this "home-made" glimpse of our tour of His land. We pray you will be blessed.
