The principal preacher was Mr.Josh McDowell, whom considered himself an atheist person, believing that Christian is worthless; however, he discovered very convincible evidences that prove the existence and the trustiness of God. As soon as he accepted Jesus Christ as a savior his life changed entirely, and God's strength and love is obvious in his life. In 1961, he joined the "Life Agape" organization, after period of time Josh McDowell established his ministry, based on a vision, of communication with the youth around the word and convey Jesus' love message, during the 48 year of serving God, Josh wrote more than 112 books.

The worshiping time, led by "The Lord is my Banner" team with the leader of the team pastor Khalid dally (in Arabic language), whom surprised not only Arabs but also foreign that felt during the worship time the unity in God like they all speak one spiritual language.

Mr.Josh McDowell's style of preaching is, sharing practical stories, and the lessons he learned from them, and how he build his character. He also shared about his miserable childhood with his alcoholic father, and his family's difficult situation. Josh ended with an encouraging message about how our Great God turned this broken child to a man that speaking about God and his Goodness courageously.

The second day, most of the participants separated to group as ages, to distribute "packages" that contain Christian books and a move speak about Jesus. In only one hour almost over than 2000 packages were distributed, in the old Jerusalem's neighborhood and outside it. There were different reactions, part of the people accepted it with pleasure, and other resisted it or burned it. Our prayers that may God use the seeds we spread for the salvation.

In the last day pastor Majdi Anwar-the manager of "Life Agape" organization in the holy land- spoke about Jesus Christ's church's role in spreading God's word, and speaking about him, for it's a commandment that Jesus Christ gave us, and we can make it works when there is unity and cooperation as one body.
