SUMMARY:Partnership Trip to Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Attention to news from Gaza and the West Bank leaves many feeling that words are not enough. When there is grief and hunger\, dispossession and death\, when words fail\, it is our presence that counts. Walking alongside those who are suffering is what God’s Holy Spirit does for us. Mount Olive Lutheran Church\, Minneapolis\, is planning a trip to Palestine November 3 – 12 to accompany their mission partners\, Bright Stars of Bethlehem and Augusta Victoria Hospital in East Jerusalem. You are invited to lend your presence and support to their Palestinian siblings and join their group. Participants will sit with students and faculty at Dar al-Kalima University in Bethlehem and will help with olive harvesting at Augusta Victoria. As much as the presence and encouragement may bless those they are visiting\, surely attendees will be blessed and encouraged\, too\, as they are able to share their experiences with their own congregations and friends when they return. For information about this opportunity\, please consult the tour brochure and be in touch with Judy Hinck at judyhinck@gmail.com.\n\n\n\n\n\n
