Mercury One announced a new leadership initiative in partnership with Passages Israel. Mercury One is offering Christian college students in our leadership training program the opportunity to discover the holy land. Students will encounter the roots of their Biblical faith firsthand and come face-to-face with the modern-day miracle that is Israel. Upon their return, students will have opportunities to build upon their trip by engaging in further leadership training, with an end goal of being an informed voice for both their Christian faith and for Israel. Learn more about the 2020 Passages trip from a student’s perspective below.
In the fall of 2017, I finished the Leadership Training Program (LTP) put on by Mercury One and WallBuilders and entered a new semester at my local college, armed with my new knowledge. While I was certain the knowledge I gained during those two weeks would forever change how I thought of America and its founders, I did not imagine that two years later I would have my perspective once again flipped on its head, this time about Israel. Between the informative speakers and the incredible sights, I would leave Israel with my political and historical views of Israel forever changed. For the ten days of the trip, our tour group comprised of 38 LTP members, two trip mentors who had been on previous trips to Israel, four representatives of Wallbuilders and Mercury One, a tour guide, and a former IDF soldier acting as our guard and medic.
Scattered throughout the trip were different speakers talking on a variety of topics: Anti-Semitism, Israeli start-up tech culture, the Palestinians’ view of Israel, Aramaic culture and language, and what life is like living within a mile of the Gaza Strip. Just as WallBuilders taught us to go back to original sources and read firsthand accounts, these speakers allowed us to bypass the filter the news media has on Israel and the issues surrounding it.
In a lot of ways, this trip is very much a continuation of Mercury One and WallBuilders’ Leadership Training Program. We were able to visit “original source” biblical sites that we know existed and have evidence to support their location. We also received firsthand information by people living in hostile situations you only read about. I cannot thank Mercury One and WallBuilders enough for this opportunity and look forward to what’s in store for the future.”
