Grow your Faith in the Prayer Garden at Yardenit

Be part of building a sacred legacy at the Jordan River in Israel

Our Mission

At the southern tip at the Sea of Galilee, where the Jordan River flows, sits The Yardenit: an historically celebrated Christian baptismal site in Israel, welcoming more than 900,000 pilgrims annually for 40+ years.

These sacred waters where John the Baptist baptized his cousin, Jesus the Christ, are hallowed ground. That is why the opportunity to create the Prayer Garden at Yardenit has begun — a serene biblical site dedicated to prayer, reflection, and symbolism in the unification of Christians and Jews.

Support for this living legacy will create, cultivate and nurture this sacred space, transforming a portion of the Yardenit into a Prayer Garden with a lasting legacy of faith and shared heritage.

By donating, become part of a cherished biblical site in Israel. We will engrave your family name in Jerusalem stone as a Watchman on the Wall, making you and your family guardians of the Holy Land. Your participation will anchor the connection between America and Israel.
