The Mission
Hello everyone! Thank you so much for visiting this page and thinking of me. A group of leaders from my church will be traveling to Israel in February 2017, and it's truly on my heart to join this trip. This is a two-fold mission. We will walk where Jesus walked, experiencing God intimately and encountering the Biblical world, from which the scriptures emerged. Also, we will meet and learn from Israeli and Palestinian people – from leaders to refugees, as we seek to understand the complexities of the current political, religious and humanitarian crisis in Israel. Our goal is to return as transformed individuals, with our hearts and eyes open to the tremendous grief, anger, fear and suffering felt by Israeli and Palestinian people. We pray that this experience would help us to build bridges across lines of conflict and to be better advocates for peace and justice.
The trip will take place in partnership with local friends at National Community Church and Telos Group, a nonprofit organization that equips leaders to advocate for a pro-Israeli, pro-Palestinian, pro-peace solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Telos is building and equipping a network of church leaders who view peacemaking as a core component of Christian discipleship and are willing to be partners for peace in Israel/Palestine and beyond.
In 2017, this will be my first step in a lifelong commitment to understanding, defending and promoting the peace and flourishing of all people, in the Middle East and the world. I am so thankful beyond words for this opportunity to serve God's people and to follow His call to be Peacemaker.
How You Can Help
With this trip comes great financial expenses -- To participate, the amount I'd need to fundraise is $3,800 by February 8th (ahh so soon!) I am hopeful that all funds can be raised by then. Your donation will help me to cover all travel expenses, which are roundtrip airfare and transportation between Washington, D.C. and Israel, meals, lodging and insurance for safety during the riskier parts of the trip. Any amount received is so appreciated. I am also so thankful for those who can support me in prayers for safety and wisdom during this trip, and for the dignity, security and freedom of the people in Israel.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and financial support. I would love to share my experience with you when I return. For those who are interested, please leave a comment below or click the blue mailing icon on your screen for personal messages. I'd love to hear from you.
