# Is it safe to travel to the Holy Land?

We understand that many people considering a pilgrimage to the Holy Land may feel some concern about safety. Verso Ministries maintains close contact with top experts on the Holy Land's current political situation, who are dedicated to providing informative, up-to-date reports on safety recommendations as soon as they are available. Verso will only send pilgrims on pilgrimage if we are certain that it is safe to do so, and we will notify pilgrims immediately if the safety status of a pilgrimage site changes. 

To help you feel more comfortable about your travel, we encourage you to read our blog post: "How to Stay Safe and Confident in the Holy Land".

If you still have concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. You can email us at hello@versoministries.com or call us at 574-383-9396, and we will be happy to address your questions.
