Friends of Israel, a worldwide Christian ministry dedicated to the support of Israel led by the organization’s Executive Director Dr. Jim Showers, made its second visit to Ariel this year. For many on the group this visit marked their first to Ariel and to Israel.
The visit began a few short hours after the group landed at Ben Gurion International Airport. The first stop was the Ariel Regional Center for Performing Arts followed by a visit to the Ariel National Leadership Development Center and a driving tour of Ariel University.
Friends of Israel concluded their visit at the Sheltered Workshop where they met with some of the workshop’s seasoned yet young at heart employees and learned about the shelter’s purpose and its products.
American Friends of Ariel thank Dr. Jim Showers for being instrumental in organizing the Friends of Israel visit. We look forward to hosting the group sometime soon.
