"Arise and walk the land, the length of it and the breadth of it; for I shall give it unto thee" -Genesis 13:17

As walkers meet people along the way, they share the mission and ask others to join us in prayer. The goal is to inspire at least 100,000 hikers to walk at least one of the 5,050 miles across the nation, and to ask 1,000,000 others to commit to pray for America.

For more about the inspriation behind the ministry, please read the introductory Brochure by founder Jim Shaner.

If you would like to talk about joining us on the trail or simply to join us in prayer, please contact Jim Shaner. Jim has walked from Delaware to his current location (see chart below) by taking frequent weekend trips from his home in the Philadelphia suburbs to the last point reached on the trail. As the walk reaches further West, these trips have increased in length as the commuting distance increases. We are praying for God to provide finances and fellow walkers so that we can span the entire nation from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean.

If you would like to receive our regular Newsletter with updates and testimonies from the trail, or if you would like to send a donation to support the ministry, please send us your e-mail address. Financial contributions will be used solely to cover ministry expenses, such as travel and trail costs, copying and postage, etc.
