A long and winding road has brought me to this place! … On September 2, I will begin the next segment of this journey as I embark on a 3 month appointment in Bethlehem as part of EAPPI‘s Group 45, serving from September 2 to December 1. Our group consists of 33 people from 17 countries across the globe who will live and work in 7 different locations within the occupied Palestinian territories … I am grateful to my sending organization, the United Church of Canada, which through its Mission and Service Fund has been committed to supporting EAPPI’s work for a just peace since its inception 10 years ago … I invite you to journey with me as together we seek to discern the things that make for peace …

peace, salaam, shalom, Friend,
