Taylor Road Baptist Church Senior Pastor, Daniel Atkins has frequently traveled to Israel and says the country is one of the most peaceful places that he has ever visited.
“The three times that I’ve been it’s been a very peaceful county. Honestly Israel was one of the safest places in the world that I’ve ever felt.”
Now, as soldiers fight to both gain and maintain freedoms, Pastor Atkins says his hope is that everyone involved finds peace.
“As a follower of Christ I don’t want to see anybody being subject to violence whether they are Palestinians or Jew. And I think it’s important to, yes we as Christians we stand with Israel but at the same time I think we need to also understand that innocent people are dying on both sides and that is just not good.”
