Israel is planning to lease 125 acres of land on the Kinneret shore to Evangelist Christians in order to create an Evangelist Christian Center to give the land a feel as though Jesus lived there. The center is scheduled to also have a biblical theme park of sorts, and is expected to jumpstart Christian tourism. Some Christians are upset that the center is to be Evangelical, discriminating against other Christians. But Tourism Minister Abraham Hirshson stressed o The Jerusalem Post, "The bottom line is that there is an agreement in principle that this will be a center for Christians of all kinds, but evangelicals will be running the project." The project is expected to rake in an income of $130 million.
