Donate to Date Palms

“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree...they shall still bring forth fruit in old age.” (Psalm 92).

A wonderful opportunity has been given us now to help the desert blossom as the rose – Isaiah 35:1. The next verse in Isaiah says the blossoming will be abundant and bring joy and singing; and the glory and excellency of the Lord will be seen. In other words, we plant by a river of promises there.

Bible Light has been invited by DeWayne Coxon of Blossoming Rose to undertake the project of planting Date Palms at Tamar Biblical Park, just south of the Dead Sea. Our first project is 175 date palms lining both sides of the entrance to the park that reaches from the main road to Tamar. The beautiful palm trees will not only adorn the entrance, but provide shade and fruit.

The best tree for this area is the Medjool date palm, and they will be almost entirely females so that they will bear a crop of dates for harvest. These can be purchased from nearby Moshavim (farm co-operatives). There are costs involved in digging holes for planting and bringing water to the trees so we are suggesting $40 for the purchase of a date palm which can be in honor of, or in memory of, a friend or relative. Bible Light will issue a certificate suitable for framing without taking out anything for office expense.

Donations can be made to support the date palms project at Biblical Tamar Park. By clicking HERE, you may print off an order form and mail in the form with your payment or by clicking on the "Donate" button below, you will be connected to PayPal.  You will receive a custom-made certificate, suitable for framing, that can be made "In Honor of" or "In Memory of" the loved one of your choice. You can also designate the honoree's name.  Your name will be designated below the honoree's name -- you will be able to enter exactly how you wish this information worded after you press the "Check Out" button on the PayPal website.

Multiple copies of the same certificate can be requested at the PayPal order entry screen.

Additional certificates can be requested for additional honorees by returning to this page, entering new choices and clicking on the "Donate" button.

Donations are $40.00 each.
