With the Church of the Nativity and a large mosque as the backdrop, the media team made a successful test run of the  upcoming webcast event from a rooftop near Manger Square on Dec. 1, 2010.

The webcast was in preparation for the Live Bethlehem event Sunday, Dec. 5, which will stream a five-minute presentation of live content from Christ’s birthplace to eight churches in the States during Sunday morning worship. The event will finish with a broadcast Monday morning at 10 a.m. EST, 9 a.m. Central. The webcast will share the story of modern-day Bethlehem and will conclude with an appeal for international missions giving.
