Holy Land guide

About Faithful Footsteps
A shared love for the land of the Gospel.
Faithful Footsteps was created during the pandemic by people with deep roots in the Holy Land and a desire to bring its places closer to pilgrims everywhere.
Why we began
The land, the story, the people.
When travel became impossible, Rami Yatim and Shiraz Alrishmawi began creating a way for people to return to the Gospel landscapes from home. Faithful Footsteps grew from that simple hope.
Each journey is an invitation to encounter a place more patiently, and to see how the land itself gives texture to Scripture.
