Bethlehem Bible College Update May 2024

We hope this update finds you well. Here at Bethlehem Bible College, we are finishing our spring semester with 8 graduates from our Biblical Studies program. 

Recently a group of Bethlehem Bible College students, under the supervision of Dr. Madeline Sara, organized an activity as part of their Youth Ministry course titled "Who’s Your Influencer?" This activity was part of their final practical project for the course, where they invited diverse groups of Christian youth from the Bethlehem area.

The activity focused on the negative influence currently facing young people on social media, through individuals who claim to be "influencers.” The students presented various creative stations and exhibits to guide the youth toward an understanding of the Word of God.  The youth were also given time to examine the concepts that inundate their minds daily through short videos and other means. 

Dr. Joseph Khoury, a lecturer at the college, presented a discourse about the most influential figure in history, Jesus Christ. One student said, "Today's generation is greatly influenced by the celebrities they follow on social media. Therefore, this activity aims to convey the fundamental idea that you are the one who creates the influence, whether it's in your home, workplace, or even in society. The greatest example of an influencer, who changed the world's thinking and direction, is Jesus Christ, our Savior. Jesus impacted many and continues to influence the world today through us, who have the Spirit of God within us.”

Please continue to pray with us for justice and peace for all in the Land, along with strength and encouragement for those serving and studying. Many of the students have close family members in Gaza, and many have lost family members. Please pray that God would meet their emotional and physical needs!
