As I thank God for the most precious gift in my life, His Son, our
precious Lord, Jesus Christ....please know that I will also be thanking
God for the gift that you have been to me through your Al-Bushra
web-site... God planted a seed in my heart while in the Holy Land in 1997
when our Tourist Guide, Samir, a Palestinian Catholic, shared his story
with me... I returned to the Holy Land in 1998, again with Samir as our
Tourist Guide... Within months after returning to the U.S., Renee' gave
me your web-site address... it was the first time I used the Internet
when I looked up your web-site!...  when it appeared on my screen... I
heard "Ave Maria" and saw a little dog going back and forth on the screen
and tears came to my eyes... it was so beautiful to me...it was exactly
the resource that I needed to follow up on my hearts desire to help our
Brothers and Sisters in the Holy Land... it was through your web-site
that I eventually discovered the Living Stones Pilgrimage and also
HCEF...of which I have become involved in both...and I've only just
begun.... So, I thank God for you and your dedication....for you have
been an inspiration to me.  God bless you always...and I wish you a
blessed Thanksgiving Day.

Peace and all good,
Faith
