TENT OF NATIONS 

 December 31, 2025

Dear Friends of Tent of Nations,
As 2025 comes to an end, we look back on a year full of deep pain, heavy burdens on our hearts, destruction, and overwhelming challenges.  It has been a year of darkness and despair, where is hope in the midst of all this?
At the Tent of Nations, hope didn’t disappear; it took root. It lived in the soil we continued to cultivate, and it grew through the hands of volunteers who came to stand with us in solidarity. It was planted with every tree, shared in every harvest, and renewed through our unwavering commitment to nonviolence, justice, and faith put into action. 
Your active solidarity made this possible. Through your presence , prayers, advocacy, and generous support, you reminded us that we are not alone. Across borders, cultures, and differences, you stood with us and proclaimed, by your actions, that love is stronger than hate and fear, that resilience is stronger than despair, and that justice, even when it feels distant, will prevail.
Together, we lived active hope, a hope that refuses to surrender, a hope that walks, plants, and perseveres.
As we step into the new year 2026, we do so carrying heavy burdens and many unanswered questions. The road ahead is not clear, but we move forward with deep gratitude, grounded faith, and renewed determination to continue the struggle for justice through nonviolence, trusting that GOD is present in the journey, even when the answers are not.
May hope continue to grow wherever you are. May it take root in your hearts, your communities, and your daily lives. And may our shared journey toward justice and peace remain strong.
Happy new year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the Tent of Nations (ToN) website

The Tent of Nations is an educational and ecological family farm southwest of Bethlehem, Palestine. Our mission is to build bridges between people and between people and the land. Through creative resistance, organic farming, and educational programs, we seek to transform despair into hope and promote understanding, respect, and sustainability. 

What we do

 – Educational Programs: Children’s summer camps and women’s empowerment initiatives. 

– Volunteer Opportunities: Join short-term or long-term projects caring for the land and community. 

– Environmental Learning: Workshops in sustainability, organic farming, and renewable energy. 

Please note that we are not an NGO. We are a small educational and environmental family farm that welcomes individuals and groups to visit, to volunteer and to be encouraged to hear our story of hope in the middle of this darkness. We are not affiliated with any organization and we are supported by church groups and other international private friends of ToN.

Our Philosophy

In the face of injustice, we refuse to be enemies. We transform pain into positive action and work for justice and peace from the ground up. We believe every person can help shape a better future by caring for one another and for the earth. 

We want to help the oppressed and marginalized realize that they are powerful and can do something positive, even if they live under challenging conditions. We all have the task of creating the future with our own hands and not waiting for others to do it for us. At the ToN, we aim to collaborate with others and lay the groundwork for a better future, believing that justice and peace should emerge from the grassroots. At ToN, we connect people with the land and to our shared environment. We need them to appreciate this wonderful gift that GOD gave to humanity, and to help protect it for the generations to come.

Vision for the land

We continue to strive for self-sufficiency in food, water, and energy, building an Environmental Education Center where young people can learn about sustainability, tolerance, and community responsibility.
