Pilgrims of Hope for the Holy Land

This is a bonus episode featuring an interview between Paul Calvert of Radio Hayah and Mike O'Brien form Pilgrims of Hope for the Holy Land. It explains the grassroots nature of the movement and how it began in late 2024 with a prayer service in Liverpool. Mike shares his reasons for travelling to the Holy Land before the "ceasefire" of 2025. He and Paul discuss the importance of pilgrimage as a journey of encounter and transformation, both for the pilgrim and for the communities they visit, and how the message from Holy Land Christians was clear and emphatic: "Come back! We are waiting for you and we need you! Tell the people of the UK to come and see - then tell the world what they saw!"#pilgrimsofhope #hopefortheholyland #palestinianchristian #bethlehem #timetoact #comeandsee #goandtell #ethicaltourism #hope #faith #pilgrimageChapters00:00 Introduction to Hope for the Holy Land09:00 The Importance of Pilgrimage and Encounter14:10 Current Situation and Optimism in the Holy Land18:00 Prayers and Future Aspirations for the Holy Land resourcesPilgrims of Hope for the Holy Land - https://www.pilgrimsofhope.co.ukHope for the Holy Land Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/pilgrimsofhopefortheholylandWebsite - https://www.pilgrimsofhope.co.ukFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/pilgrimsofhopefortheholylandYouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@pilgrimsofhope25
