From 7:00pm – 9:00pm

Costandi Bastoli is a Palestinian Christian, born and raised in Jerusalem. He migrated to Australia in 1969 and has led pilgrimages to the Holy Land since 1991. Costandi is Lieutenant Emeritus of New South Wales Lieutenancy of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, which he founded in 1995. The popes have entrusted this Order with the care and support of the Christians in the Holy Land. He is married to Barbara and they have five children and seven grandchildren. For the past 6 months he has led nightly prayer on zoom, calling for ceasefire, justice and peace.

Palestinian Christians have a powerful voice and witness in the current escalation of Israeli genocidal violence in Gaza but they have largely been ignored by the global church. Come listen as Costandi Bastoli shares with us about his personal experience as his perspective on what is currently happening in Palestine. Questions are welcome.
