Oh, Christians, please do not knock government doors for alms in order to pay for a trip to Holy Lands. Your Lord God does not command you to seek him in Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Sinai, Damascus and Egypt. Seek him among the needy in the community of which you are part of. If you must support the pilgrimage business, then spend your money: about 75K per person on average.

"Seek you will find; Knock and it will be opened to you; and Ask and you will be given" so goes the Word of God. These christians atlast got enlightenment to follow the Woord of God. Good luck then you brothers who presented a memoranduum to Mr. J.R. Lobo, M.L.A. putting before him the prayers to get aid to visit Holy Lands. I wish it will be granted and then I will also try to visit Holy lands then. Good Luck to all of us. God hear our prayers.
