Abara: Building Authentic Relationships in the Borderland
November 30 – December 4, 2026
Join us to uplift border communities and foster understanding and connection. Tom and Kristy Parker and Dave and Sue Feltman are organizing a trip to El Paso, Texas for a border experience.
- Travel is the responsibility of the participants.
- Arrive Monday evening, November 30, and depart Friday, December 4.
- Two days in El Paso and one day in Juarez, Mexico.
- You will need a valid passport with expiration date after June 7, 2027
The experience is hosted by Abara. Visit their website to learn about their ministry. The Parkers and Feltmans went with members of East Iowa Presbytery last December and found it life changing.
