VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 3/15/22)—Travel to Israel and Palestine on a short-term discovery trip this May 24 to June 4, 2022, with Charles Jones, American Baptist International Ministries area director for Europe, the Middle East, and Liberia, and others. The trip will start in Bethlehem with attendance of the “Christ at the Checkpoint” conference and will be hosted by the Association of Baptist Churches in Israel/Palestine.

Participants will worship at Turan Baptist Church and other local churches, walk many historic sites, and discover what life is like for modern-day followers of Christ in the land of his birth. They will also experience opportunities for fellowship with Christian brothers and sisters who live out their faith under the constraints of long-term conflict.

All participants must be COVID vaccinated. The deadline for registration is April 15; space on the trip is limited. Please contact volunteers@internationalministries.org for more details.
