Where is life taking you?

Being a student is weird.

You’re on the edge of your future, expected to make a decision about the rest of your life. But you haven’t had the chance to really experience the world yet.

You’re supposed to just know what your next step is, but you’re still trying to figure out who you even are—and what you actually believe.

It’s a lot.

Step out into the world.

There’s a tried and true way to gain perspective and define life for yourself—travel.

But where should you go?

For Christian students in particular, a special place calls out. A place where you can connect with the roots of your faith in Jesus. A place where you can encounter new cultures, expand your world and fuel your future as you enter the next chapter of life.

One Drop Campaign

One Drop Campaign

Feb 28, 2025

One Drop is inspired by co-founder Rivka Kidron’s recent visit to an Israeli site affected by the tragic events of October 7. While there, a survivor shared a poignant insight: each prayer, good deed, and act of solidarity is like a drop of water. “All those drops come together to form a powerful body of water.” Each drop strengthens our bond, reminding Israel and the Jewish community that they are not alone.

As part of this campaign, we’re gathering stories from our alumni about their own “One Drop.” If you're a Passages alum, we’d love to hear from you. Click below to share your story.

Brewing Solidarity: Passages and Ten Boom Coffee Bring Support for Israel to College Campuses

Oct 29, 2024

We visited UT Dallas, MIT, University of Georgia Atlanta, and University of Missouri, distributing free coffee, yellow ribbon pins, and postcards featuring hostages held in Gaza. Passages partnered with Ten Boom Coffee Roasters to serve hundreds of cups of coffee on campus. Inspired by Corrie Ten Boom's life, Ten Boom Coffee Roasters was founded by Passages alumnus David Peters and collaborates with Agrocafe Israel to support local Israeli coffee roasters.

Coffee is a medium for connection. Passages has given out hundreds of cups of coffee and had conversations with hundreds of students about the importance of standing with Israel and the Jewish People. The impact goes beyond a cup of coffee.  

We saw students of all religions, cultures, and backgrounds wearing yellow ribbon pins, showing solidarity with the hostages. In one powerful moment of solidarity, a Jewish student saw other students wearing their yellow ribbon pins. He smiled, pulled his hostages dog tag out of his backpack, and wore it around his neck.

“It’s been super great to see Christians supporting us and it’s really great to just have the support,” said Zev Moore, MIT Student and Executive Board Member of the MIT Israel Alliance.
