The Basics
Some trips to the Holy Land allow you to visit the cities and the ruins but don't give you a chance to really meet the people. We hope to change that.
Bethlehem: Summer of Service is an opportunity to meet and share in fellowship with Christians in a land of conflict, to meet with Palestinians and Israelis who are peacefully building toward a just solution and to walk the lands of the Bible. We hope our participants will strive not just to walk where Jesus walked but to do as Jesus did. That's why we emphasize prayer, fellowship, peace, healing, humility, service and discipleship. Each participant will have the opportunity to:
Live with a Christian Palestinian host family. Experience life as the locals do, share in every day experiences with a family in Palestine.
See the Lands of the Bible. Visit Biblical sites like Bethlehem, Shepherd's field, the Church of the Nativity, Jericho, Jerusalem, the Via Dolorosa, etc.
Study God's Word. Share in fellowship with other participants and local believers.
Meet with Israeli and Palestinian Peacemakers. Meet with organizations who are working toward a just peace and seeking nonviolent means to end the conflict.
