How Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was received, concluded his Holy Land tour

1. How Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was received, concluded his Holy Land tour Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of the Christ Embassy, also known as Believers’ LoveWorld Incorporated, has concluded his Holy Land Tour for the year. The trip is taken every year and is planned by the church and Pastor Chris. The goal is to connect with those who worship Jesus Christ across the globe. Pastor Chris was also joined by Pastor Benny Hinn, a well-known Televangelist. Hinn’s presence helped in bonding those of Christian faith while on the tour. Chris Oyakhilome has many supporters, and a lot of them embarked on the trip with him, making stops in Israel and Jordan. The trip’s itinerary was packed with places to see, and each had a spiritual story to tell. Several religious groups, including Christians and Jews, experienced the meaning behind their religion on the trip. The tour actually follows the trip that Jesus took as written in the Bible and other scriptures. Those who attend are literally able to walk his path and see this land as he once did. Many were very impressed with the embrace Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and his followers received when they arrived in Jewish territory. Both Jews and Christians appeared extremely

Another notable moment was the fact that the tour fell on the same date as a few important events in Israel. These included the 70th anniversary of the Year of Independence in Jewish culture and the fact that the US Embassy has now moved into Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. President Trump announced his plans to move the Embassy to Israel earlier this year. The reasoning behind this move was simple. Through relocating the Embassy to Israel, this spreads the message that the United States supports the culture and recognizes Jerusalem as a Holy City and the Capital of the Jewish religion. Many have praised President Trump for this decision, since they feel it will create stronger ties between the United States and Israel. During Pastor Oyakhilome’s tour, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held an event that celebrated the move of the US Embassy. Oyakhilome was invited to the event as a guest of honor. While there, he met many important figures and was embraced and congratulated for the things he has accomplished. Hosts and the Jewish community were excited by his presence and quick to welcome him with open arms. In addition to their appearance at the Foreign Affairs event, Pastor Oyakhilome and his followers also made many other important stops on their trip. Their visit lasted a total of eight days. Some notable stops included one to the Tomb of Lazareth, a visit to the Sea of Galilee, and a trip to Mount Hertzel. A portion of the group also experienced a unique opportunity when they visited

While there, he and his followers were able to experience the place where Jesus came after his resurrection to speak to his disciples. Another added benefit was the fact that Pastor Chris Oyakhilome gave sermons during many parts of the trip, something that many of his followers really enjoyed. They described his sermons as moments that bring them closer to the Lord. Many also say that they are full of both glory and gospel. Overall, the event had a great turnout and helped many people of Christian and Jewish faith better understand Jesus’ travels and become closer to God.
