December 26, 2005 -- JERUSALEM — Israel is offering evangelical Christians a chunk of the Holy Land.

Thirty-five acres on the northern end of the Sea of Galilee, surrounded by key sites of Jesus' ministry, would be leased to an association of evangelists led by the Rev. Pat Robertson, Israeli tourism officials say.

Israel says evangelical leaders have agreed to raise $50 million to build a Heritage Center on the site, hoping to attract tens of thousands of religious pilgrims a year. AP
