Fadi Zoughbi, Mark, and Vicki on a Bethlehem rooftop.
In the heart of Bethlehem, it’s the people who turn a journey into a homecoming.
While the ancient stones of the Nativity tell a story of the past, it is the living community—the “Living Stones”—who make the present so vibrant. I want to take a moment to say a deep and heartfelt thank you to our dear brother, Fadi Zoughbi. Fadi, your friendship is truly precious to us, and your guidance through your home city is a gift we don't take for granted.
A special thanks also to Issa for your constant encouragement and steady support, and to Diana for your incredible hospitality. You’ve shown us the true meaning of a Bethlehem welcome, turning a visit into a shared experience of family and faith.
To our friends in Bethlehem: Shukran. We carry your stories and your kindness with us until we meet again.
