Board Secretary Dr. Okudero Gbolabo Omoniyi commended the pilgrims for their obedience, spirituality, and active participation, noting they prioritise spiritual growth over other interests.
He said, "The pilgrims are truly working in the spirit of the journey." "They know why they're here – it's about spirituality, not shopping or jamboree." He also appreciated the operational staff for ensuring pilgrims' safety and well-being in Israel.
The pilgrims have visited significant sites in Bethlehem, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Pool of Bethesda, Mount Zion, the Shepherd’s Field, Church of Nativity, Garden of Gethsemane, amongst others.
