Israel appoints T.B Joshua as Ambassador of Tourism
Israel’s Minister of Tourism, Yariv Levin presented the national award.
Daily Times recalls that the award came after Joshua held a two-day event in June, 2019, in the historic hometown of Jesus Christ, which attracted thousands of religious tourists from across the globe.
The event, which was held at the Amphitheatre of Mount Precipice, was, however, fiercely criticised by local religious figures and nearly faced cancellation due to the intensity of attacks.

A protest was organised with hundreds trouncing through the city in Northern Israel with placards decrying the coming event and people shouting: “Let this witch get away from us!”
Despite the ‘noise’ surrounding the event, it was held successfully with T.B Joshua preaching a message on love and ministering “healing and deliverance in Jesus’ name” to the large crowds that gathered.
The event was also attended by a group of religious figures who even visited the venue of Mount Precipice after the event and performed a ‘cleansing ritual’ with water, leaves and salt.
The event, which was broadcast on local television throughout Israel and featured in The New York Times and Reuters, subsequently attracted the attention of Israel’s Ministry of Tourism, which gave an award to the Nigerian cleric and made him a ‘Tourism Ambassador’.
