Please join us in supporting Cathryn Deyo as she prepares to travel to the West Bank, Palestine. This will be her third trip to the region where she will work with farmers to pick olives in areas threatened by Israeli colonies, bypass roads or the Wall. The farmers are in danger of having their fields confiscated or destroyed, but with the presence of international volunteers, the farmers receive the help and protection they need to continue.; Location: East Congregational United Church of Christ 1005 Giddings SE Grand Rapids MI; More Information: http://www.olivesforhope.com
