Enugu govt sponsors 274 Christians on pilgrimage to Israel, Jordan

Two hundred and seventy-four Christian pilgrims from Enugu State are set to be airlifted to Israel for the 2022 Christian Pilgrimage.

The state governor, Ifeanyj Ugwuanyi, urged pilgrims sponsored by his administration to pray for peace, security, unity, and progress in the country.

The state government is sponsoring 274 pilgrims for the 2022 Easter pilgrimage, 24 for Jordan and 250 for Israel.

Christian pilgrimage is an opportunity for Christians (Pilgrims) to leave their comfort zone and encounter God in places where He has revealed Himself.

It also entails visiting locations associated with Christ’s life, times, and teachings, particularly his birth, passion, death, and resurrection.

It is an opportunity for quiet introspection and spiritual rebirth for Christians, who are expected to return as more dedicated practitioners of the Christian Faith.

The executive secretary of the state pilgrim board and beneficiaries commended the governor’s immense contributions to the success of the scheme.

The chairman of the Enugu State Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board,Bishop Emmanuel Edeh, thanked Governor Ugwuanyi in his goodwill message for his steadfast support of the board’s objectives.https://www.tvcnews.tv/2022/07/dromi-empowers-600-women-with-interest-free-loan/
