April 26. Bethlehem Young Adults are getting exciting about their upcoming trip
to Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Yesterday, April 25, our group
of 8 individuals who are going (Bethany, Betsy, Ann,
Katy, Emily, Jenna, Matt, and Pastor Beth)
was commissioned during the morning worship services for the work that
they will be doing while overseas.
The group will be traveling to Israel/Palestine from May 2-14. We will be meet with young adults from the town of Bethlehem, specifically those doing ministry at Christmas Lutheran Church and students from Dar al-Kalima College, a ministry of the church. We will be seeing sites mentioned in the Bible as well as doing a work project in Bethlehem in one of their ministry areas. Our goal is to make connections and build bridges that will last for many years to come. We plan to continue blogging about our experiences throughout the trip and hope you check back to see our trip updates!
