Please plan to register early; space is limited. Sometimes we have had to turn away families because of the space limitation.

Most rooms accomodate up to four people (a double bed and a bunk bed with private bath), and one or two additional family members may be accomodated in the same room on the floor if you wish to bring sleeping bags for them. Single adults who wish to room together should send in their registration forms together, otherwise they will be paired with other singles if space is limited.

• A Thousand and One Egyptian Nights: An American Christian's Life Among Muslims by Jennifer Drago
  

  Two years after September 11, 2001, many Christians and others in the west had turned a cold shoulder and a blind eye to Muslims in the Middle East. Jennifer Drago and her family saw things differently. They heard a radical call, one that would uproot them from their life and work with refugees in the United States and plant them among conservative Muslims in Egypt. Jennifer recounts the challenges and rewards of this eye-opening journey into the heart of the Islamic world, where she and her family lived not as Americans in Egypt, but as Christians among Muslims.
