Nebraska Synod ELCA
Event
With Pastors Adam and Jordan Miller-Stubbendick
*Sponsored by generous donations from the Luther Memorial Lutheran Church, Omaha trust fund, and the Nebraska Synod Holy Land Accompaniment Team (NSHLA).
Join us June 14-17, 2025, in a church near you to learn about life in the Holy Land. All are welcome and invited to attend these free presentations. (Registration is appreciated to help us plan for set up and refreshments, but not required.)
Pastor Adam Miller-Stubbendick is a Nebraska native. Together with his wife, Pastor Jordan Miller-Stubbendick, they served as co-country coordinators for the ELCA’s Young Adults in Global Mission program in Jerusalem and the West Bank from 2022-2023. With their two children, they lived in Jerusalem for a year and a half, accompanying the Palestinian people of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jordan (ELCJHL) and the Holy Land. Their time in the Holy Land ended when they were evacuated back to the United States due to intensifying violence against the people of Gaza in October 2023.
As they said goodbye to Palestinian friends in October, one friend implored them with the following words. “Tell your country what is really happening in Palestine.” In continued accompaniment with the Palestinian people, Pastors Jordan and Adam share stories of the life-changing work of the ELCJHL, stories of Palestine, and ways that the people of the ELCA can help fellow Christians in the Holy Land. Their presentations take the often-overwhelming issue of the relationship between Palestine and Israel and humanize it by sharing pictures and accessible stories of the real people who live and work in Palestine.
This presentation will include ample time for questions at the end.
