| | Christians Help Israelis in West Bank |
 | | ARIEL, West Bank (AP) - Digging into the West Bank soil, Christians from suburban Denver plant seedlings in a vineyard as a blessing for the 18,000 Jews who have built a town here on land the Palestinians claim for their state. |
 | | Instead, hundreds of churches offer regular donations to about 50 West Bank settlements to buy school equipment, playgrounds, medical supplies and bulletproof buses, said Sondra Oster-Baraz, a Jewish settler who is the local director of a group called Christian Friends of Israeli Communities. |
 | | Leading the trip to Ariel by 25 members of the Denver Faith Bible Chapel, from Arvada, Colo., was Cheryl Morrison, 58, wife of the congregation's pastor and head of the church's projects in Israel. |
