Dear Friends,

 

I want to sincerely thank all of our study tour participants. Seeing Armenia through your eyes helps me appreciate this beautiful country in new ways, even though it’s a place I know so well. Each time we visit the Jinishian Memorial Program’s beneficiaries and see faith in action, I feel even more grateful for our donors and the hard-working staff who make everything possible.

 

Thanks to the support of the Presbyterian News Service, we are happy to share with you a series of stories and reflections from both our program staff and study tour participants. These stories show the important work of the Jinishian Memorial Program and how it’s making a difference.

I invite you to read these stories and see the impact of what we are doing together. And if you feel inspired, I warmly welcome you to join us on a study tour in 2025 to experience Armenia firsthand and be part of this meaningful journey.

 

Best Regards,
