    Jinishian Memorial Program sponsors study tour of Armenia
    Participants will learn about program's work and Armenia's culture

    LOUISVILLE, Ky. (May 29,2009) -The Jinishian Memorial Program (JMP), a
    ministry of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) dedicated to improving
    the lives of people of Armenian descent, is sponsoring a study tour of
    Armenia Sept. 13-24.
    The itinerary includes visiting community development programs
    supported by JMP, meeting farmers using JMP micro loans to expand
    production, getting to know participants in Armenia's first high
    school debate clubs (a JMP initiative), and seeing sites that tell
    about Armenia's history, culture and politics.
    "We want to raise awareness of the work of the Jinishian Memorial
    Program among Presbyterians and among the Armenian community in the
    United States, and we hope to inspire people to become advocates and
    supporters for the work of the Jinishian program," said Sara Todd,
    program manager for JMP. The program works in the Middle East as well
    as Armenia.
    The $2,500 cost of the trip includes lodging, food and tickets for
    cultural events. To learn more about the trip, visit
