It is the mission of Blossoming Rose to support Israel and the Jewish people by sponsoring humanitarian and educational activities in Israel and the United States that serve to give people an opportunity to learn about Israel’s history.

It is the intent of Blossoming Rose to carry on the vision and ideals of Dr. Rudolf Cohen, former Deputy Director of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), and Dr. Yigal Israel, southern Director of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) to develop the first educational and historic National Park under the direction of the IAA.

The primary purpose is for Blossoming Rose (USA) to oversee the development of Biblical Tamar Park and to bless Israel by restoring and maintaining this 55 acre, national, educational and historic site.

Our Blossoming Rose work is more than just exploring history. It is uncovering ancient Tamar and being privileged to sift through 5,000 years of their heritage. It seems to me that this could not be just a coincidence of fate, that we have now neatly categorized “Seven Periods of History.”

Presenting this history, and how it relates to our Creator, is the reason we continue to develop Biblical Tamar Park. Thankfully, we have the full support and cooperation of the Israel Antiquities Authority in Israel.

Intrigued with Israel and his Christian roots, Dr. DeWayne Coxon, minister and founder of Blossoming Rose, first began traveling to the Middle East in 1965. Then in the early 80s Blossoming Rose, a non-profit organization was created, which focused on tours along with humanitarian projects in Israel.

One of these projects was an archeology site that was under tons of sand. Over the next several years, Blossoming Rose raised support to assist with the archaeology dig. This site later was discovered to be the historic Jewish city of Tamar. The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) proudly awarded Blossoming Rose to become the official curator of this 55 acre area, now known as Biblical Tamar Park.
