On Friday November 16 Pastor Billye Brim, Pastor Lynne and Pastor Mac Hammond accompanied by a group of over 30 pastors visited the City of Ariel. For most of the pastors this visit marks their first to both Ariel and Israel.
Mayor Ron Nachman addressed the group at the Ariel Regional Center for Performing Arts, thanking them for their support and for coming at such a tense time, during Operation Pillar of Defense.
Pastor Billye then went on to say that Mayor Nachman was “a modern day Joshua,” as someone who has built the modern city of Ariel near the very site where Joshua himself resided.
Billye and Lynne then each received a bouquet of “flowers” made of recycled materials crafted by local schoolchildren – a small token of the City of Ariel’s gratitude for their ongoing support and friendship.
American Friends of Ariel are always happy to welcome Billye Brim and her friends to Ariel and hope to see them again soon.
