Our HOPE pilgrimage was amazing in ways I could have never anticipated.  I was immersed into a new culture with new friends and colleagues while experiencing first hand the holy places of the Bible and Jesus. The Bible and Jesus were not a new concept to me before HOPE, but I can honestly say they are new to me all over again. My faith has come alive.  I am forever grateful and committed to HOPE.
