The Jesus Lamp: Nazareth Village

In the town of Nazareth there is a small village experience dedicated to the hometown life of Jesus. When you exit the pilgrimage site, each person receives a piece of pottery called the Jesus Lamp. It is a replica of the lamp Jesus once used for light during his time on planet earth. It's a sacred little gift.

Last year, Dusty, a young man who journeyed with us on our yearly pilgrimage to the Holy Land was really moved by the Nazareth Village experience. So much so, that he inspired all in our group to give a donation so we could buy a brick and support the efforts of the pilgrimage site. On the brick Dusty had just four, one-syllable words engraved: BE LIGHT! GO SHINE!

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
