About Bethany
Colorado roots, Jerusalem heart, stories for the soul.
Hi, I'm Bethany
Bethany Crigger grew up in Colorado and came to know the LORD at the age of sixteen. On fire for God from that day forward, she passionately dug into knowing him and better understanding the depth of his Word.
At the age of twenty-two, Bethany married Joshua — the love of her life. Shortly after, they moved to Brazil to volunteer, working with children in a small slum. When the two returned home to Colorado, they jumped into art school and, after graduating, found themselves living and volunteering as cooks at a college in Jerusalem, Israel. Even though their stay was brief, they fell in love with the Jewish people and the Holy Land.
On a recent visit back to Israel, they witnessed their daughters fall in love with the people and the land, too. This ignited a spark inside Bethany — a deep desire to plant seeds of love in others for the Holy Land and its people. What better way than through relatable, captivating stories?
