Living Stones Today

is a US-based nonprofit that introduces and connects American Christians to today’s followers of Jesus across the Near East (aka “Holy Land”), North Africa and East Mediterranean regions by utilizing education, travel and projects.

The history, reality and people will surprise you.

Since 2012, we have engaged in helping others learn about and meet local Christians (aka Living Stones) across the Near East, North Africa and Eastern Mediterranean regions to experience their vibrancy, diversity, resiliency and wisdom.

Living Stones Today respectfully dives into the concerning lack of access, awareness and relationships.

We seek to share the history, local state of affairs, global significance and connect opportunities to learn and partner.

mutual awareness - friendship - shared resources - unity

Our Approach:

Educate

We utilize small-group travel; create media, curriculum, courses and events; Plus engage in public speaking and thoughtful discourse.

Connect

We highlight, promote and partner with local Christians, organizations, churches, businesses, people and leaders.

We have deep relationships and trust with all backgrounds of Holy Land Living Stones. This allows us to practice and promote John 17:20-23 unity and create intra-Christian bridges. Our ability to travel with a respectful and “sleeves-rolled-up” attitude has been well-received.

We create educational content which is utilized in many settings - including presentations and venues in the USA - to introduce Holy Land Living Stones. Our fun, adventuresome, biblical and relational approach reflects our values and yields GREAT outcomes!

Living Stones Today partners with regional organizations in the Holy Land. As an example: we connected a US-based church and a Holy Land student organization. We sponsored a 4-day Summer Family Camp staffed with 32 of our volunteers. Another successful endeavor!

We connect US-based churches who can serve year after year in the same locations. We also coordinate with local partners in Greece - for the sake of refugees from the Middle East. Amazing friendships and open minded dialogue frequently occur!

We design meaningful moments…but we also leave space for serendipitous, unscripted intersections - which are always memorable. Many Christians from around the world do not know about Holy Land Christians, their traditions or daily struggles. Let’s change this reality!
