A transformative journey beyond pilgrimage
You are invited to step into a story of living faith.
Join a unique visit to the land of Jesus that goes beyond a traditional pilgrimage.
The Methodist Church invites you on a powerful and life-changing journey to a land marked by deep history and ongoing conflict.
