We are so excited to share something very close to Pastor Saleem’s heart—his recent interview with Christ for the Nations, titled “Why Do You Love Israel?”
In this powerful and emotional conversation, Pastor Saleem opens up about his journey—how God took him from a place of pain and loss, and filled his heart with love, purpose, and a calling to bless the land and people of Israel.
As an Arab pastor living and serving in Nazareth—the very hometown of Jesus—Pastor Saleem shares honestly about how he once felt anger and even hatred. But when he encountered the love of Yeshua (Jesus), everything changed. God not only healed his heart but also gave him a deep, supernatural love for the Jewish people.
That love has become the heartbeat of our ministry.
In the interview, Pastor Saleem speaks about the unique role that Arab believers have in Israel today—to be a voice of hope, a bridge between communities, and a testimony of what true reconciliation looks like when Jesus is at the center.
This is more than an interview—it’s a glimpse into what God is doing in Israel right now. It’s a reminder that even in a land filled with tension and conflict, there is hope. There is healing. There is unity in Yeshua.
We encourage you to take a few moments to watch this video.
Let it stir your heart, challenge your perspective, and remind you of the beauty of God’s plan for Israel—and for all of us.
Please feel free to share it with others who love Israel, or who need to see how God is working through the lives of ordinary people—bringing healing where the world says it’s impossible.
With love from Nazareth,
Your Home of Jesus the King Church Family
