Father Fares Al-Khelifat is a co-founder of Siraj Center for Holy Land Studies. He is from Jordan, and was educated at Salvatorian Seminary in Beit-Sahour, but due to difficult circumstances he completed his studies in Lebanon. After graduating from seminary he served as a priest in Syria for a year, and returned to serve in Beit-Sahour for two, where he played an important role at all levels and energized local youth groups—organizing training sessions in leadership, summer camps, Middle East and international youth activities, and world youth days. He discovered that these kinds of activities were essential in helping Christian youth face a challenging and unstable political environment. Father Fares moved to Ramallah, but the Israeli government has prevented him from doing his work, forbidding him from re-entering the country and refusing to renew his residency. He is still waiting for permission to return, and to continue serving the people and spreading the word of God.
