From Ancient Stones to Living Stones: A Week in Eilabun

Hanna and Lena Eid with yours truly in Eliboun.

A Galilean Ministry

Our journey through the Heartland took a turn from the ancient to the personal this week. After a slow, sun-drenched stop at the summit of Tell Rehov—where the ruins of the world’s oldest apiaries overlook the Jordan Valley—we continued north into the heart of the Galilee.

A Saturday Night to Remember

Eilabun is a place where history isn't just under your feet; it's lived out in the community. Because their congregation meets on Saturday night, we had the distinct privilege of joining them for an evening of worship and encouragement.

There is something moving about sharing a meal and a song in the Galilee. The Eids are truly wonderful people, pouring their hearts into a ministry that serves as a lighthouse in this region. Worshipping with the “living stones”—the people who make up the modern church here—is more profound than the “old stones” that we excavate from the ground.

Partner in the Ministry

If you’ve been following our journey and feel a tug to learn more about the vital work being done here in the Galilee, I encourage you to check out their ministry. Hanna and Lena are doing incredible work through the Christian Holy Land Foundation.
