Trip Description

GO PALESTINE

If you have a heart for the Muslim world or have a desire to understand in a deeper way how to pray for this extremely important region, join us! This Team will have an incredible opportunity to come alongside the ministry of Seeds of Hope which cares for the people of Jericho, Palestine. Seeds of Hope works to bring long-term change to families through education, economic development, cultural exchange, and humanitarian aid. Their vision is to instill the next generation with love for all peoples, and to create a long-lasting environment of peace for not only families in the Middle East, but throughout the entire world. They provide education programs, employment opportunities, and basic resources such as clean water and medical clinics to the local families in Jerusalem and Jericho.

This trip is a unique opportunity to visit both places in the Holy Land. While in Jericho, the team will spend the mornings serving in various ministries of Seeds of Hope: construction projects among the refugees, the school, and the cultural center. One highlight of the trip might be an invitation for tea and conversation in local homes. In the afternoon there will be opportunities to visit some of the holy sites as Jericho is the oldest city in the world. The day begins early and finishes late because there is so much to experience and process. Please note that there will be some prerequisite study and reading before we go. Additional formations may be required for the team to be ready to go. Team members need to be in good physical condition due to the schedule and walking required. 

For more information about this trip please email the Team Leader, Kelli Mahany, at kmahany15@comcast.net.
