This summer I will be traveling with two of my very good friends, Amber Shirah and Shelby Mathis to the land of Israel and Palestine. We have a few plans for where we will be staying during our month there and friends we will see during our time in the land.
The first five days will be spent in Jerusalem at the Abraham Hostel with the hopes of getting to know the people of Jerusalem. From there we will travel into Bethlehem and spend ten days on the Tent of Nations Farm with the Nasser family. A family passionate about God and passionate about their love for all people and who live out this love as they persevere in reconciliation through a peaceful fight to keep their farm. http://www.tentofnations.org/ After contributing to the fruit harvest and cave renovation on the farm, the three of us will go into Beit Sahour and spend a week with the Tawil family, a Palestinian Christian family I lived with last summer. And finally, we will end our journey in Palestine and Israel, and travel into Istanbul Turkey, where the relationship building and learning will continue. Please keep the three of us in your prayers during this time. Also, please consider all of these nations of people in your prayers as well. We are open to everything God gives us in these places and whatever He desires to do in us and through us. Our hope is we might carry the peace of Jesus with us every where that we go and we might also have the heart to learn and accept others in their own spiritual journey as we get to know God through the diversity of His creation.
