This article deals with Christian Evangelical Zionist pilgrimages, especially focusing on those from the group of John Hagee, pastor and founder of the Cornerstone Church, and from the lobbyist group Christians United for Israel. Pilgrims from this organization join gatherings which honor and defend Israel, causing the participant to progress from being a simple believer to being a pro-Israel activist. The methodology is based on field studies and interviews with this group.
