Fifty young people of The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) will take part in “Exodus to Israel,” a six-week opportunity to study and work in the Holy Land, the agency has announced. From May 3 to June 15, young men and women between the ages of 18 and 30 will live on a kibbutz, attend the Institute of Holy land Studies in Jerusalem, tour extensively and take part in optional archaeological digs.
“This is an opportunity to make the Bible come olive,” said Rev, Keith Parks, PAOC Youth Representative. “The young people can experience what they have been taught and read in the Bible.” Parks and George Grosshans, assistant to the executive director of Home Missions, Bible Colleges and Men’s Fellowship Department, are co-directors of the trip. Recently they were in Israel as guests of the Israeli government to make preliminary arrangements.
After arrival in Tel Aviv, the group will spend about one month working and living on a kibbutz near Nazaroth. Special tours will be conducted on days off and the participants will be able to meet the Israeli people first hand.
