Bethany Beyond the Jordan

Be still.

Listen.

To the flow of the Jordan.

Where the story of renewal began.

Right by the site of Jesus’ baptism, Jordan will be home to a new sanctuary of spiritual pilgrimage and wellness.

For millennia, Jordan has been a sanctuary for humanity. Its central geographical location, diverse people, unique culture, moderate climate, and rich agricultural terrain have attracted countless civilizations throughout history.

We aim to protect and preserve the entire area of Jesus’ route to pilgrimage and baptism site. Adjacent to the UNESCO heritage Baptism Site, a new development zone will be a thriving hub for visitors traveling to the site and its surrounding.

Bethany Beyond the Jordan.

Experience renewal.

Celebrating all of mankind, together in love, grace, and kindness.

The Baptism Development Zone is a new heritage center, a multicultural village of peace and tolerance, a safe haven for world-weary travelers looking for spiritual enlightenment.

Bethany Beyond the Jordan will embody Jesus’ message of love, forgiveness, compassion, and kindness, to be a place of sanctuary for all seekers of peace around the world.
