Sister Rose Obeid, the Coordinator for the Women’s Ministry of the Association of Baptist Churches in Israel, worked alongside the Holy Land Palestinian Evangelical Council to coordinate a meeting joining women from Galilee and the West Bank in Beit Elleka (Beit Jala) Saturday the 10th of October 2009.

The meeting began at ten o’clock until twelve in the afternoon.  Sister Heyam and Sister Salwa led the worship followed by a devotion by Sister Reema Anwar about the continuity of vision in the life of Joseph despite all the pain and challenges he faced.  

Later there was a time of fellowship and prayer, and the meeting ended with a BBQ lunch. The fellowship was encouraging for all the women as they shared their faith and love with each other. Sister Rose said the meeting was a great success and "we pray that there will be more meetings like this in the near future."
