Guides, drivers, photographers and staff in the Ho

Dear Friends,

A Holy Land Pilgrimage is a life-changing, faith-changing experience. The knowledge and faith of the guides are humbling. The bus driver’s skills are amazing. The logistical personnel makes the trip smooth and relaxing.

The reality for those folks today is painful and we have resisted sharing this until now, but the situation is growing dire. Since October 2023 no pilgrims have visited the Holy Land. All those whose livelihoods depend on that have struggled. They have received no financial assistance from the government and the need for help to support their families is real.

This is a humble request for you to make a difference in the lives of the people who impacted your faith life.

Please consider supporting the effort through this GoFundMe page to provide support directly to the guides, drivers, photographers, and logistical personnel who work with Good Shepherd Travel in the Holy Land. Not wanting to call out any individuals by name to avoid embarrassment, rest assured that any money you donate will be targeted directly to those folks who worked with you on your pilgrimage to provide your once-in-a-lifetime experience. Your gift of $25, $50, $100 or more will help sustain these people during these most difficult days.

During COVID, you helped generate $20,867.00 that directly helped those who were affected. Let us see if we can beat that GOAL.

Any amount you can offer will help as the impacts of the conflict continue. Thanks be to God for your generous support and prayers. God’s blessing to you and your family.

God Bless You,
