NCPC-ES Applauds Christian Pilgrims For Not Absconding In Jordan
The Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC), Rev. Yakubu Pam has commended the 2020 pilgrims to the Kingdom of Jordan for excellent conduct, particularly as none of them absconded.
Rev Pam, who gave the commendation while addressing the 5th batch of the Christian pilgrims to Jordan, the character and behaviours of Nigerians have been commendable by the Jordanian government thus, want them to improve more on it.
He said the first, second and third batch concluded their exercise and returned to the country with zero abscondment record.
The NCPC boss admonished the pilgrims to conduct themselves in an orderly manner, saying that the Jordanian government is on the watch of those who will want to abscond.
He further said; “We are very serious over the issues of abscondment. We have recorded zero abscondment for the first, second and third batch, I am very happy over that.
“For we are here to show Christ like behaviour of Jesus Christ. We are here to pray for our country and we need to represent Nigeria both in character and behavour.”
Pam said there are so many spiritual sites the pilgrims will visit in Jordan during the exercise, adding that pilgrimage will also continue in Jerusalem once Israel opens its border.
He said that there are more than 70 spiritual sites in Jordan and the pilgrims will visit Gedara which is connected with one of the miracles of Jesus on the casting of demons.
According to him; “Others are Zarqa River, identified with biblical river Jabbok where Jacob crossed on his way to Canaan after leaving Harran, Pella; one of the most ancient sites in Jordan and Mukawir, the hilltop stronghold of Herod.
“Other sites to be visited are Hisbon, Madaba, Nazareth Church, Bethany and Dead Sea among others”.
The NCPC boss appealed to the pilgrims to pray fervently for Nigeria to overcome the current challenges facing it just as he applauded the Jordanian government for the warm reception accorded the pilgrims.
