Spotlight on Missions
On October 29th at 1:00 AM, a fire erupted in the Jeru-
salem Alliance Church. Ten people were sleeping in
the church overnight at the time. Nine were visiting the
Holy Land together as a group were from an Alliance
church in the USA. One person was from a church in
Denmark. Within 20 minutes emergency and ambu-
lance personnel arrived on the scene. All 10 people
were evacuated safely, and received medical care at a
nearby hospital.
The main location of the fire was discovered to be in 2
lower basement rooms, and police confirm that it was
arson. The church is located near a very religious Jew-
ish neighbourhood. This church building was erected
by the Christian and Missionary Alliance in 1914, and
mainly used for the service of believers who come
from different backgrounds. Palestine Bible College
was established there, in addition to an Arab congrega-
tion which has since moved to the Old City of Jerusa-
lem in the Christian Quarter.
Since 1967 the building served for many purposes be-
sides being a sanctuary for worship. It has hosted sev-
eral international and local congregations, was used as
a pilgrims house for many years.
Ultimately, the church desires to be a beacon of light
reflecting God's love to all people. Situated in a
city divided by hate, it seeks to be an agent of recon-
ciliation and peace to all parties, and will continue to
serve the Holy Land residents, proclaiming peace and
justice for all human beings, declaring God's love for
all of our neighbours, friends and enemies.
