Bethlehem Bible College - April 2022 Update

Bethlehem, Palestine

My name is Ghadeer Hanna Khoury. I’m a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend! I’m the mother of triplets, Youhanna, Itay, and Andrew; they are six years old and a true blessing from the Lord. I have been working as the registrar at Bethlehem Bible College since 2012. The college is a blessing, with so many genuine friends who build me up every day, and of course, the word of God which we listen to daily, and which helps us grow in faith.

I’m now studying at Bethlehem University to obtain a master’s degree in Governance and Administration. It’s a two-year program and I’m halfway through. Studying is challenging but I’m learning many helpful things; it is an opportunity to feel that I’m doing something for myself.

Bethlehem Bible College has stood by me through many major phases in my life. When I first gave birth to my boys, they understood the difficulties of having triplets and the need to excuse myself suddenly from the office if one of them got sick or something. And now they are supporting me with my studies by allowing me to go to the university on Fridays.

If you ask me how I manage to be a full-time working mother, a student, and a pastor’s wife all at once, I’ll tell you – priorities! Managing time is a skill. I can’t say that my life is perfect or that my house is always perfect. Still, my priority is to make memories with my kids by spending time with them and putting them first.

As a pastor’s wife, I see myself as a very ordinary woman. Everyone who comes to the church has a role, not only the pastor’s wife. I consider myself as any church member, and if I see something that needs to be done, I do it. I go to church most Sundays, but sometimes I can’t go. I’m a normal person.

To all the beautiful moms, you don’t have to be perfect. Set your own standards, priorities, and boundaries. Teach your kids to love. Be courageous. You can do way more than you imagine!
