Christian pilgrimages to Jerusalem have increased greatly within the last decade as Christians trace the footsteps of Jesus, meditate and pray for their families and churches. It is a potential life-transforming event. There is also a growing global phenomenon of governments financing pilgrimages to Jerusalem, as a place of intercession, to pray for their national troubles. Ghana’s government faced criticism for attempting to sponsor Pentecostal pastors for such a trip to ‘intercede for the nation’s many socio-economic difficulties. Over the years, various Christian and Church organisations have asked governments to sponsor pilgrimages, stating, ‘Christians are entitled to state sponsorship for pilgrimages to Israel just as Muslims receive sponsorship to go to Mecca.’ Is Jerusalem becoming ‘Meccanised’? Post-resurrection history of Christianity indicates no geographical centre as the focus of Christian encounters with God. ‘When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen’. (Mat.6:6)
