There aren’t any words that can fully do justice to how proud and inspired I am by how the young Palestinians and Israelis of PeacePlayers have weathered over 500 days of war and cuts to funding, to somehow, against all hope, continue to find creative ways of making peace.

The Easter Story is a love story. A story of brokenness and healing. Of forgiveness and renewal. Of exile and return. Jesus’s love defeats hate and asks us to build heaven here with the broken-hearted, and even our enemies. chadford.substack.com/p/drying-the-t…
