2012-Your Summer With Hope Equals

Are you ready to spend five weeks in the Holy Land? Submit your application NOW for this summer and join the Hope Equals summer team in walking the land, meeting the people, and hearing their stories.

This is the third Hope Equals summer trip and we have fine-tuned it to be the best one yet! Meet the leaders spearheading the peace and reconciliation movement and follow them on tours of their work. Then, learn even more by volunteering for them.

This experience will give you the opportunity to hear first-person stories of the situation—from multiple perspectives. You will also have a chance to swim in the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee, and the Mediterranean; as well as to visit the Church of the Nativity and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, among many other Christian holy sites. You will also spend time at the Holocaust Museum, the Dome of the Rock, the Wailing Wall, and have the opportunity to climb to the top of Masada.

While we would love to take everyone, we only have room for 15 students, and spaces will fill up soon. Send a completed application to contact@hopeequals.org: Application.

Trip dates are June 11-July 15, 2012.
