Welcome!

This blog will document the journey of 8 American youth and 3 chaperons from the state of Washington on our journey to Israel and the Palestinian Territories.  While there are 11 of us journeying, we are joined by the thoughts and prayers of so many friends and family.  While we are in the Holy Land, we will be joined by a group of our fellow Christian brothers and sisters from the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.  Our youth will also have the opportunity to meet Jewish Israeli young adults, and hear their stories.

This journey is sponsored by the Episcopal Bishop's Committee for Israel/Palestine.  Our hope is that through building friendship between our youth and youth of the Holy Land, we can begin to sow some seeds of peace.
