What is it?
See for yourself! This summer, join Christian Reformed World Missions on a five-week adventure in Israel and the West Bank. Tour the Holy Land and meet some of the leaders at the forefront of the peace and reconciliation efforts on both the Israeli and the Palestinian sides. You’ll tour their organizations and visit some of the most historic and important sites for Christians, Jews and Muslims. The last two weeks of the trip you will volunteer for one of these groups and have a direct hand in helping them with their work. Don't worry; you won’t leave the Middle East without riding a camel. ("Watch out, they spit!")
