In Bethlehem, the city known as the birthplace of Jesus, there’s something else to celebrate this Christmas. The Nativity Encounter is a new project designed to share the story of Jesus with those who live where the story began.
As Christmas Day approaches, volunteers from the First Baptist Church in Bethlehem are welcoming visitors into what organizers call the Nativity Encounter, a walk-through journey bringing the story of Jesus’ birth to life.
What’s different about this project, though, is its focus. The encounter isn’t just for the thousands who visit each year; it’s for those who live here year-round.
