You can be involved in the twinning link as an individual, or a whole church
through:
1. Visiting Israel
A view of Galilee from where the sermon on the mount was
preached. (Click for full size)
Each year we arrange a visit for UK church members, leaders and ministers to Israel to meet with believers and visit historic Biblical sites including Jerusalem.
Travel is subject to Foreign Office advice and is by hired and/or private transport while in Israel.
We are planning the next trip in May 2011 to coincide with the special
Centenary Celebrations of Baptist witness in Israel/Palestine.
Cost about £900 per person.
(Actual cost will be dependant on fares and accommodation
charges at the time of booking.)
If you are interested in joining us please contact Rev David Ronco.

2. Sponsoring
Sponsorship is usually for a three year period, after which time it is hoped that the church receiving support will be self financing through the congregation.
3. Twinning With a Church in Israel
Finding a church to twin with and developing a relationship between the two
churches is not something to be taken lightly. It requires whole church
participation, not just the leaders of the churches involved. It usually starts
with either a visit to speak at your church by one of our trustees, or perhaps a
speaker from Israel. It can also start with a familiarisation visit. It will
require working together to build a relationship between two churches, it will
also be very rewarding. To request more
details, or enquire click here.
4. Send a Donation
Every donation we receive is very much
appreciated and can be just a once only donation or regular donations. Donations
from individuals who pay UK taxes can be tax efficient under the Gift Aid
scheme. You can specify a particular ABC church or pastor to benefit from the
donation, or help us with the costs of visits to and from Israel. Details
to make a donation here (PDF).
Several of our churches are already twinned: Bromham with Akko, Tring with Cana, Hertford with Nazareth, and Leighton Buzzard with Haifa
