Shalom and blessings from Nazareth! I am truly excited to share with you a very meaningful interview I recently filmed for The Middle East Report. This conversation touches on some of the most important things God has been doing through our ministry — things I believe every believer who loves Israel should hear.
In the interview, I speak openly about the unique calling God has placed on us as Arab followers of Jesus here in Israel. For many people around the world, it is surprising — even shocking — to see Arab Christians and Jewish believers standing together, worshiping together, and serving the people of this land side by side. But this is exactly what the Holy Spirit is doing in our day, and I am humbled that Home of Jesus the King Church gets to be part of this miracle.
I share about the bridges we are building between communities that have been separated for generations… about how love, kindness, and the message of Yeshua can soften even the hardest hearts… and about how practical acts of compassion can open doors for peace and understanding that politics never could.
Nazareth — the hometown of Jesus — is becoming a place where His light shines again, touching Jews, Arabs, Muslims, Druze, and Christians with the same hope: that Yeshua is alive, and His love has the power to transform lives. In the interview, you’ll hear stories, insights, and testimonies that reflect the heartbeat of our ministry and the reason we do what we do every single day.
I encourage you to watch the interview and share it with others. And as you do, please continue to pray with us — that this message of unity, reconciliation, and the love of Jesus will reach far beyond Nazareth and bring hope to many throughout Israel and the nations.
With all my love and gratitude,
Pastor Saleem
