Towards Jerusalem began as a simple but determined idea more than a decade ago: to walk, study and bear witness to the history and the living reality of the Holy Land. In 2012–2013, the first long pilgrimage was completed and documented in a blog that followed the landscapes, the people and the deep spiritual heritage that has shaped our shared civilisation. Since then, we have kept returning – physically, intellectually and spiritually – because the region continues to shape global understanding of faith, identity and community.
Over the years we have met Christian families, clergy, teachers and local communities who preserve traditions under conditions that are often fragile and misunderstood. Their stories, dignity and steadfastness have remained at the heart of our work. Towards Jerusalem has never been a political project; it is a commitment to learning, documenting and strengthening the presence and voices of the Christian communities who still call the Holy Land home. What began as a personal journey has grown into a long-term calling.
Where We Are Going
As we rebuild this platform, our mission remains unchanged but our methods must evolve. The Holy Land is facing increasing pressure — cultural, social and demographic — and the Christian communities that have carried its heritage for two thousand years deserve to be seen, heard and supported. We believe it is more important than ever to provide clear, trustworthy and compassionate communication about their situation.
Towards Jerusalem is now entering a new phase: a more structured effort to educate, document and connect supporters who wish to safeguard the presence of Christians in the region. We will continue to publish field notes, interviews, historical reflections and updates from partners on the ground. Most importantly, we will invite others to walk with us — not necessarily on foot, but through knowledge, solidarity and practical support.
This new website is the first step. Your contribution helps us rebuild, continue the work and ensure that the story of the Holy Land is not left untold.
