About us

The people in darkness have seen a great light. For those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. Matthew 4:16

Two millennia ago, in a field outside the holy city of Bethlehem, an angel of the Lord proclaimed the "good news of great joy that will be for all people...in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord."

In the centuries since that history-changing nights, pilgrims have flocked to the little town of Bethlehem, the birthplace of the Savior. It is a sacred place evoking awe and wonder -- yet a place living in the shadow of conflict and extreme deprivation.

In this land where hope and despair are sisters, Bethlehem Bible College is training Palestinian Christians to lead the Church and be the light of Christ to their Muslim neighbors.
