Bill Cloud quote: "The Old Testament prophets and the apostles of the New Testament all declared that in the end of days, God would restore Zion. We believe that the physical and spiritual restoration of Zion is the last day move of God. Thus, one of our primary goals is to teach, along with other Biblical concepts, the Jewish roots of our Christian faith."
