Part of the tour title includes the words "Living Stones." This alludes, of course, to the text in 1 Peter 2:5, which refers to believers as "living stones" being built into a spiritual house of God. In the context of this tour, the words refer to the people who continue to embody the story of God in the twenty-first century. The June 2009 issue of National Geographic had an article on “The Christian Exodus from the Holy Land” by Don Belt. Since part of the experience on the tour is meeting and worshiping with Palestinian Christians, this article will introduce you to their current reality. You can read the article by clicking here. On the left side of the page is a link to an excellent short video (or click here) by Ed Kashi on the Christians in the region.
