Orlando, FL - This week Covenant Journey begins the second year of experiential summer tours of Israel for Christian college-age students who have leadership potential. Students from over 142 colleges and universities have participated in Covenant Journey. The students are from small and large Christian, private, and public colleges and universities, including Ivy League schools, such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth, and more.
The twin goals of Covenant Journey are to strengthen the students' Christian faith and introduce them to ancient and modern Israel to be a goodwill ambassador for Israel. An alarming number of young people walk away from their Christian faith following high school, and when this happens, they always disconnect from Israel. Covenant Journey immerses students in the land of the Bible and connects them to the roots of our Christian faith. The Bible and Jesus become more real and meaningful. And, of course, in learning about ancient and modern Israel and the Jewish people the students fall in love with and become advocates for Israel.
