The Moment Everything Changed
I'll never forget the first time I truly felt Jerusalem.
It wasn't during my academic studies or archaeological training. It was standing on the Temple Mount at sunrise, watching golden light spill across the very stones where Jesus once walked. In that moment, Scripture wasn't just text on a page. Scripture was breathing, alive, real beneath my feet.
After decades of guiding pilgrims through the Holy Land, I've witnessed this transformation hundreds of times. Tough businessmen weep. Skeptical teenagers fall silent. Seasoned pastors whisper prayers with trembling voices.
Jerusalem doesn't just educate. Jerusalem transforms.
But here's what breaks my heart: most believers will never experience this. They'll never touch the ancient stones, never walk where the prophets once stood.
Until now.
When History Nearly Vanished
In 1999, something heartbreaking happened. During unauthorized construction on the Temple Mount, over nine thousand tons of sacred soil that had witnessed three millennia of biblical history was carelessly discarded.
Think about what was buried in that earth: traces of Solomon's Temple, fragments from Jesus' time, remnants of moments when heaven touched earth. It could have been lost forever.
But God had other plans. Two Israeli archaeologists, Dr. Gabriel Barkay and Zachi Dvira, refused to let this treasure disappear. They founded the Temple Mount Sifting Project, carefully rescuing every grain they could find. Working alongside them, I've held coins from the Temple treasury, pottery from Jesus' era, and inscriptions that make biblical accounts leap to life.
This isn't just academic archaeology. This is sacred rescue.
Bringing Jerusalem Close to the Hearts of Believers Everywhere
Not everyone can walk where Jesus walked. But through this sacred soil, they can carry Jerusalem with them into their homes, their prayers, and their faith journey.
Thanks to the Sifting Project's meticulous certification process, your congregation can now share in the experience I had that bright morning in Jerusalem.
Letting Believers Hold the Ground Where Christianity Was Born
When someone first holds Temple Mount Soil, something profound happens.
The Bible stops being ancient history and becomes a personal story of faith and devotion. Jerusalem stops being a distant place and becomes home, calling them back.
In our skeptical age, when faith faces constant questioning, your congregation can literally hold the ground where Christianity was born. They can connect with the historic reality of this place where Jesus lived, died and rose again.
Standing for Biblical Truth in Our Time
And lastly, when you bring Temple Mount Soil to your congregation, you're taking a stand for biblical truth.
In our generation, ancient truths are dismissed as myth and Israel's historical connection to the land is questioned. But every bottle of Temple Mount Soil declares otherwise.
Each purchase directly supports the Temple Mount Sifting Project, strengthening archaeological work that proves biblical history is real history. You're partnering with Israeli researchers who preserve evidence that validates Scripture while contributing to Israel's economy when the nation needs allies most.
Most importantly, you're helping fortify your congregation's faith with tangible proof that God's promises stand firm.
