We had the honor of hearing from Rev. Rodny Said an update from the ground. Rev. Said is the pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hope in Ramallah. He shared honestly about what the situation is like in Ramallah and the West Bank.Rev. Dr. Meghan Aelabouni presented our focus topic "Go and Tell". She presented on ways to share with others about justice for Palestine and Israel. Rev. Dr. Aelabouni also covered frequently asked questions and an overview of Sumud. Lastly, we heard from participants what they have experienced when sharing and what was helpful, and successful.
