NEED: For 1,400 years the treasured ancient sites of Christianity have been largely hidden and unavailable to visitors. Yet, these sacred discoveries are clear evidence of the first miracles, sermons, and communities of the Christian faith. The archeological sites where it all happened are waiting to be felt and experienced. Newly discovered New Testament evidence needs restoration, protection and preparation to host the multitudes of Christian pilgrims and Israeli tourists.
OPPORTUNITY: With encouragement from the State of Israel via the Israel Nature & Heritage Foundation, a connection to Christians has been established and Christians are being invited to participate in sustaining at least 18 ancient Biblical sites which include: Capernaum, Korazim, Beit Saida, Caesarea Philippi, Kursi, Zippori, Sussita, Jerusalem’s Pool of Siloam, Jesus’s Baptism site, Jesus’ Resurrection Site next to Mensa Christi, Caesarea Maritima and 7 significant others.
VISION: For the first time in 14 centuries, Christians have direct core access to New Testament Sites where the Narrative of Jesus (Yeshua) is carefully represented, and provision for pilgrim prayer, worship, fellowship and encounter is made. Easy access and modern, comfortable facilities will enrich the experience of each visitor.
INVITATION: A US nonprofit, Israel Heritage, inc., is administering this project and receiving financial gifts towards planning, conservation, design, education and staffing, For Patron partnership opportunities you are invited to contact Israel Heritage representatives directly via the contact page herein.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
We believe it is "for such a time as this" to rebuild and prepare these ancient sites of the Christian faith in Israel, where it all began..
We believe it is the responsibility of Christians to plan, fund and care for these pilgrim sites.
The first site will be Capernaum which has an ancient harbor, significant archeological evidence, location of 15 miracles and has some existing pilgrim infrastructure already in place (parking lot, restaurant, seating) but will receive a master plan for further development.
The second site will be Caesarea Maritima’s prison site of Paul and the Roman Centurion Cornelius’ general quarters.
