About this episode

We’ve known Steven for many years and he’s a dear brother in the Lord and a great testimony of sharing the Gospel in the now predominantly Muslim city. We talk about what’s it was like to
grow up in Bethlehem, his outreach ministry this season and his Christmas message to the church. I think you’ll appreciate his word for the times. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit datelinejerusalem.substack.com
