Thank you for your interest in the Jerusalem Institute of Multicultural Studies – Bethlehem Experience!  We are so excited and blessed that January 2014 marked our inaugural session.  While we just launched,  we are not new to Bethlehem by any means.  The co-founder of the Jerusalem Institute of Multicultural Studies, Pastor Lisa Bourland, through her ministry – The Father’s House International, has invested over 8 years in this region through an established House of Prayer that has brought countless interns and staff to Bethlehem over the years for both short and extended visits.  The history and beauty of the region along with the many relationships fostered over the years with these precious people are all part of what makes this “home” for us.  We know that after one visit, it will feel like "home" for you as well.
