Mr Samuel Kofi Dzamesi, the Minister of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs on Friday urged the second batch of Christians embarking on pilgrimage to holy sites of Israel to follow the rules at the various points.
The Minister said abiding by the rules would boost the confidence of both the Ghanaian and Israeli governments to continuously create the opportunity for others to also visit the holy sites to build up their faith.
“Don’t do anything that will jeopardise the programme… Let us go as pilgrims and come as pilgrims,” Mr Dzamesi stated during the pre-departure briefing at the Social Aviation Centre in Accra, where pilgrims wait before proceeding to the Kotoka International Airport for departure.
Mr Dzamesi said government was committed to ensuring that at least all Christians visit the holy sites of Israel to enhance their spiritual lives and also pray for the nation’s progress.
He urged the 44 pilgrims to continuously pray for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the nation as a whole, especially as they walk in the path of the Lord Jesus Christ in Jerusalem.
The Minister said the future of the initiative was very bright as the Ministry looked forward to increasing the number of pilgrims to 1,000 pilgrims next year as against 215 pilgrims this year and 50 last year.

Ghanaian Christians take advantage to visit the Holy Land yourselves and stop seeing those magicians who call themselves prophets. I wish Obinim will take advantage to visit if really he is for Christ. Obinim chose to visit Dubai instead of Isreal, reasons best known to him. Ghanaians must be careful with these charlatans since time and time waits for no man and heaven is individually not a group. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and everything will be added, there is no man on earth who can solve your problems except God but not through false prophets who have been predicted in the Bible and caution issued. God is not deaf that he can't hear your prayers but only through Obinim and God is not wicked that he will let you carry a burden too much for you, but in all it is the evil we have in us, but through our own prayers not somebody doing it for you, God will deliver us. Visit the Holy Land once in your life time and your life will not be the same and that will cease the work of those charlatans.
