I am getting ready to do something that I have never done before in my lifetime!
I am making serious plans to "walk" from Dearborn, MI to Mackinaw City, MI in September of this year!
Just the mental ranglings of such a task still gives me the 'hebegebees'! But the more I think about it and pray it through... it is possible! So I have been poking around on Google Maps and checking out the routes that I could take to get there!
Right now it looks like the trip would take me from 20 to 22 days depending on the weather and how my body holds up at age 55! Oh my goodness, am I really that old!? Anyway, that is my direction at the moment.
We are planning on starting on Labor Day, September 5th for the first leg of the walk from our church on Michigan Avenue going up through Edward Hines Drive (which is a Wayne County Park that is almost 20 miles long) to as far as Beck Road just North of Northville, MI. After arriving there, I plan on leading an intercessory prayer meeting that evening for Dearborn... someplace in the vacinity. (details forthcoming)
The next morning we will continue our trek up to Camp Dearborn in Milford, MI and meet by the River and pray again for the ministry in Dearborn and the construction of the facility that we are revitalizing!
I will be asking folks to sponsor us... 'so much a mile' for the 275 to 300 mile trip. The funds we are raising will go to pay for the construction costs of our building project here in Dearborn.
I also want our friends who know what we are doing here in Dearborn... in building this Church. So I am asking for anyone who is able and willing, to come and walk with us...! I am inviting folks to join us and walk whatever leg of the trip they are able to walk.
There are going to be 20 days of walking that will eventually cover a 300 miles route. So there will be plenty of time and space for friends to join us along the route we plan to take. People can come on whatever day they are free to come and walk as long as they want to walk... as I myself will walk the whole distance!
It would be appreciated if those who come to walk with us, would also ask for pledges from others, for the distance that they walk along with us in 'Trey's Trek' North.
There will be more posted later... I don't want to wear you out with my words
Trey
I wanna go!
ReplyDeleteWell, get your calendar out and figure out what days you want to walk with me! I talked to Ron about using their Motor Home so on those long stretches of Northern Michigan Forests we will at least have a piece of "home"! I have invited "Nammie and DeDe to go with us and Grandma and Grandpa Severance to go. They can walk when they want to and ride when they want to and encourage us who are actually pounding the ground! But it would be an awesome honor to have you come along. Hey! Maybe your church would send you up here with a pocket full of cash to with a mission to 'walk this thing through with me! We gotta get this project paid for and any help ya'll could offer would really help!
