Follow-Up Projects

On the 3rd of June, 2000, the people who participated in the Student Desert Encounter met up at a friend's home in Nazareth, ate a meal and spent the afternoon and evening together. This was a time of catching up, seeing pictures from the trip, and planning and praying about a social-service follow-up project. People shared their feelings concerning the current changes in the Middle East. The group agreed that as their Follow-up Service Project they would visit refugees and have some special activities for the children.

The Youth Desert Encounter follow-up picnic will be held on June 25, and at the time we will decide on a social service project. Please keep this important event in your prayers, as it is a vital time of fellowship and spiritual teaching, and we pray that it will complete and enhance the desert experience for each of the young people.

Expo _2000

The team planning to go to Expo continues to meet monthly and will have a weekend retreat this month. They are preparing to share their testimonies, and learning the background and beliefs of Islam and Judaism and basic evangelistic tools. Please continue to pray for the unity of the group, as for many of them it is their first interaction with people from the other culture. The logistics visas, travel arrangements and accommodations are quite intricate, and we want to cover these details in prayer.

Youth Leadership Program

Musalaha is working with Youth for Christ are building a small group of 5 to 8 youth leaders who receive training throughout the year, perhaps go abroad to a training conference, and plan an Arab/Jewish summer camp in the summer of 2001. Many preparations will go into these meetings and the camp, and we pray for the Lord’s anointing on the youth leaders and on the entire project.
