HAND IN HAND With Petersburg VA


For a fourth year, teens from St Philips Church in Nablus will join with Christian teens from many churches in the U.S. to work hand in hand to repair homes for those in need here in Petersburg, Virginia.  During one week of retreat, 26 homes will be repaired and neighborhoods inspired by 200 teens and the volunteer staff ofTri-Cities Workcamps. 

The funds we are raising will cover 8 plane fares from their home in Nablus to Washington DC.

The group will be here JULY 19 - 31, 2018.  In order to get the best fares possible, we need to have the money for flights ASAP.  The earlier we can reserve, the better group fares they can get from the airlines.  

WE NEED HELP GETTING THEM HERE!  


Travel from Nablus is risky and challenging, especially getting permission to leave their occupied land.  After traveling on an 7-10 hour journey through checkpoints in Palestine they will reach Jordan.  Their plane will fly them from Amman to Washington D.C. where we will pick them up.  Host families here will help them prepare for camp.  Everyone will be camping out at a local middle school sleeping on the floor in sleeping bags and using the gym showers and school cafeteria where meals are prepared for them.  



We work hard during the day but we play just as hard in the evenings.  Through both work & play deep and lasting friendships are formed b between the Arab Christians and the U.S. teens.  The same lasting bonds are formed between the residents of Petersburg and the students that are assisting them.  


With all the disparaging news about happenings in the Middle East, these youth are shining examples of their church, schools, families and faith.  The ripple effects of sharing in work and play are immeasurable!  

Lives are changed.  Families are changed.  Neighborhoods are given hope.  Cultures are shared and bonds of love are created and lasting friendships are grown.  All of  this happens for the price of a plane ticket.  PLEASE consider being a part of this understanding and peace.
