Arab and Jewish musicians who are all believers in Jesus have teamed up to bring musical harmony in the Middle East.
The Israel and Ishmael Worship Tour, organised by Maoz Israel - an organisation "committed to reaching every Israeli with the truth of the gospel" - took place over the summer across France and Belgium, covering 18 cities in 30 days. The tour featured performances by Arab and Jewish musicians, worshipping Yeshua (Jesus) together in Hebrew, Arabic and French. Among them were the Arabic worship music Sakhnini brothers from Nazareth, who became Christians in recent years, and subsequently teamed up with Jewish believers in Jesus.
Organisers say the aim of the worship tour was to "re-state the abiding truth that there is still hope for peace in the Middle East."
