CHRIST AT THE CHECKPOINT TOUR 2018 5-day pilgrimage to the Holy Land culminating in a 4-day conference in Bethlehem called Christ at the Checkpoint. May 23, to June 1, 2018
INTRODUCTION Join Stacey and J.R. Atkins as they lead a group of graduate students and adults through a 5-day pilgrimage to the Holy Land culminating in a 4-day conference in Bethlehem called Christ at the Checkpoint where you will explore the nature of being a Christian in the Holy Land. May 23, to June 1, 2018. Stacey Has a Masters in Theological Studies and J.R. will complete his Masters of Divinity in May 2018. Both have traveled extensively, especially in the Holy Land
PILGRIMAGE: 5 DAY TOUR OF HOLY LAND SITES See sites such as the birthplace of Jesus, walk the places where he taught, sail on the Sea of Gallalie, sit on the hill where Jesus delivered his teachings, and remember your baptism or be baptized in the Jordan River. Next, we will travel to Jerusalem where Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gestheminie and walked into the city on Palm Sunday. We will visit each of the 12 stations of the Cross on the Via Delarosa and end at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus was crucified.
CONFERENCE: CHRIST AT THE CHECKPOINT About the People of Christ at the Checkpoint: We are a community of Christians who believe that following Jesus with integrity means that our lives are formed by our love for God, the teaching of the Bible and a fearless life of discipleship in the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We believe that one of the first hallmarks of discipleship is love for both our own community and for our enemies. We wish to find Jesus at the center of everything we do and to make his life our life. Which means finding courageous love for Palestinian Arabs and Israeli Jews alike.

CONFERENCE: CHRIST AT THE CHECKPOINT About the Content at Christ at the Checkpoint: Speakers will explore topics such as “Whose Land is it Anyway?” and “The Land and the People” as conference attendees strive to understand the issues of the land and the theology supporting different views.

Colin Chapman, Salim Munayer and Lisa Loden.

WHO SHOULD GO? • This trip is ideal for the “First Timer” or for the person “wanting to know more.” By combining a pilgrimage to holy sites with the conference, travelers get a very rich experience. • Schedule an “Interest Meeting” for you, your friends, or your church.
