A while back, Southeastern University announced that it was building a satellite campus of sorts in Jerusalem. On March 24, the Jerusalem Studies Center will hold its grand opening and dedication ceremony.
The Center is location in downtown Jerusalem, near the Old City. It will house Southeastern ministerial students and provide them with a unique opportunity for on-site course work and research. Ministerial students will spend one semester at the center as they earn their bachelor’s degrees.
Although it’s quite a travel to attend this event, it is open to alumni and friends of Southeastern University. Those who attend will be treated to a tour of several local sites by Southeastern President Dr. Mark Rutland.
There also are donation opportunities that will entitle donors to a round-trip ticket to the grand opening and dedication. Anyone interested in learning more can call the Development Office: (863) 667-5088.

You guys and gals just might want to check out Israeli law before you get too excited about this project. It is against the law to do missionary work in Israel. The fact that the secular, left leadership has not bothered to enforce their own laws is beside the point. There will be a new ’sheriff’ in town now that the right has taken over.
Here’s hoping they finally enforce their laws!!
