in love with Israel" in 1959.
Betsie speaks in Kenya
about Jerusalem, the center
of the three great religions.
She talks frankly about the
mishaps and mistakes of the
young country. She depicts
Israel as a country of con-
trasts, but also a united
country in times of danger
and pressure.
She talks about the rela-
, tions between Jews, Chris-
tians and Moslems in Israel
and about the place and
status of women in the
country.
The late Mayor of
Jerusalem Gershon
Agron gave her the idea
of being a missionary for
Israel. She studied in
Kenya at an institute for
Bible studies. It is
situated 600 kilometers
from the Nairobi. Stu-
dents from all parts of the
country come to this in-
stitute to study the Bible.
They sit in the jungle and
study the Old and New
Testaments.
Betsie lived at the insti-
tute for a month and spread
the legend of Israel, the
Land of the Bible. She
traveled from village to vil-
lage and told the children
about the distant Holy
Land. The children knew

about it from tales of the Bi-
ble.
Betsie showed pictures
and films from Israel. The
inhabitants of the jungle
listen eagerly to the tales
about the distant land and
ask many questions about
the land and its people
The Kenyans, even in the
jungle, are interested in the
political situation in Israel
and the Middle East. They
ask about wars, the
prices, and daily life. Be*
was surprised when she
entertained by children of
jungle villages with Israeli
folk-songs. The older in-
habitants told Betsie that
they heard the songs from
Israeli teachers who taught
in the villages.
Betsie plans to go from
Kenya to other African and
Asian countries to tell their
inhabitants about Israel, its
past, present and future.

Arab Visitors

Hundreds of thousands of
visitors annually from Arab
states - even those at war
with Israel - have crossed
the Jordan River bridges or
landed at Ben-Gurion air-
port to visit their families in
Israel and the occpuied ter-
ritories.
