Travel Course Summer 2018 – Peacemaking and the Israel/Palestine Conflict
Time is running out to sign up! You have the opportunity to travel to the Holy Land, learn about Christian peacemaking in that context, and earn credit towards your degree. NPTS is leading a team to Israel/Palestine from May 24-June 4 this summer, and you are invited to join. This trip is part of a 3-credit, hybrid course, which will meet requirements for your intercultural elective, and allows you to learn alongside students and leaders from around the world.
In partnership with our sister school, Bethlehem Bible College, students will take part in the “Journey of Understanding” and attend the “Christ at the Checkpoint” conference (https://christatthecheckpoint.bethbc.edu/), Scholarships for the travel cost are available for credit-earning students. Please contact Paul de Neui (pdeneui@northpark.edu) if interested or with any questions.
