Dear Sisters and Brothers,

Easter Greetings from the Tent of Nations!

“As HE came near and saw Jerusalem, HE wept over it.” Jesus was sad to see the suffering of the people. Today the situation and especially in Jerusalem is not that different; the city is full of tension, hopelessness, and sadness. We still don’t “get” the message of justice and peace that HE brought to our world.

On the 2nd of May, we have the court hearing for the reregistration of the farm. This is supposed to be the last hearing; we hope that there will be no more delays. We will inform you immediately about the outcome of the hearing on the 2nd of May and let you know how you can help. Thank you so much for all your support and solidarity.

We are glad that international groups and volunteers started to visit the Tent of Nations again after two years of no visitors because of COVID-19. We are expecting more visitors and volunteers in the coming months. We hope the political situation won’t get worse.

Today, as we go through this difficult time, we should always remember that we are the people of hope; we are the people of the resurrection, the cross was not the end, it was the path to resurrection and into a new life. We need to stand up and never forget that we are the ‘salt of the earth’ and ‘the light of the world.’ This is the good news of the resurrection.

HE is not here for HE is risen! Happy Easter.

April Update on the Re-Registration Struggle

Dear Friends of Tent of Nations,

In our March newsletter we promised an April email with updates on the Re-Registration Hearing scheduled for early May in Israel and information about how you can help.

Your solidarity and prayers have buoyed the spirits of Daoud Nassar and his family!  Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tent of Nations Farm has endured continual attacks on their land resulting in destruction of terraced fields, infrastructure, and trees; intense legal attempts to confiscate the Nassar’s land; and in January, brutal attacks on Daoud and Daher Nassar. Despite all this, the Nassars are “still determined not to give up, but to repair the damage, replant new trees, and move forward.”  

Tent of Nations is at a pivotal moment in its history.  The Nassars and their lawyer are preparing for the early May re-registration session with the Israeli Civil Administration.  We are all hopeful that this event will be the final step to definitive recognition by the Israeli government that the TON farm is privately owned by the Nassars.

At this time, Daoud believes that the most helpful steps we can take are to:

Daoud will update you about the outcome of the May re-registration session with the Israeli Civil Administration. 

We appreciate each of you on the Nassars’ journey of faith, love, and hope!
