WALK THE WALL 2009

October 4-13, 2009

Following the tremendous success of our 2007 China Challenge, we invite you to join a team of people who accept the challenge of walking part of the Great Wall of China in 2009 to raise funds through sponsorship for persecuted Christians.

This is a fantastic experience and an opportunity to do something extraordinary for your brothers and sisters in Christ. We are planning for participants to have an opportunity to meet local Chinese Christians and hear accounts of the persecution they face.

The cost of next year's China Challenge is approximately £1,525 per person including airport taxes, insurance, transfers, food and accommodation (where arranged).

Find out more on our website. To request an information pack containing the full details, including the itinerary, please call Paul on 01689 823491 or email Chinachallenge@releaseinternational.org.
