"On both sides, I've seen the kind of things that you could easily take to heart and become bitter. But unless we have the ability to forgive, we can't really serve effectively. We have to be able to take the blame and anger from both Israelis and Palestinians when friction arises."

Shevet Achim's website hasn't been updated for a while, so it has no news about Miles's deportation. Embrace Israel Ministries, however, has updates from Miles, including an item about his deporation.

CBN News profiled Shevet Achim's work last May.
