This was/is a Life Critical experience. Unlearning and relearning the past and present realities of slavery and the history of civil rights leaders has opened doors to new ways to tell truth, resist evil and follow Jesus. Fantastic leaders, speakers and experiences - never to be forgotten. Thanks so much!

This was truly a unique trip full of emotional pain, learning, listening, and simply being present. I am still processing everything that I heard from Palestinians, Israeli's, and my fellow travelers. It has challenged everything that I learned about westernized christianity. My faith is strengthened and I am emboldened to speak about the war in Gaza and support for Palestinians while supporting the release of hostages. The trip itself ran very well. I enjoyed the Telos staff, our driver, tour guides etc. and their professionalism in the midst of heartbreak and pain. The food was great and I am happy that we got to support local businesses hurting due to the lack of tourism. I encourage anyone thinking about going on a Telos trip to do it! You will be blessed :)

An incredible, powerful and heavy trip that was a complete privilege to participate in. Leaning into the Ministry of Presence, and standing in solidarity with Palestinians and Israelis who have endured so much over the last eight months, was truly an honor.
