electronics wrote a new blog post: For Rick Hagans, living out his personal faith is as simple as putting one foot in front of the other.Hagans, founder and president of Opelika-based Harvest Evangelism, a ministry that administers live-in programs His Place and Hosanna Home, as well as Hope’s Inn, an emergency shelter, began doing just that on Monday in Colorado, walking to raise both shoes and awareness for another “Pilgrimage of a Promise.” Hagans’ trek across the Centennial State will mark the 34th state he’s traversed since he struck out on his first such walk more than 16 years ago. Hagans’ goal is to get 10 pairs of shoes donated for each of the approximately 350 miles of the north-to-south path he will walk across Colorado. Hagans said he never started “Pilgrimage of a Promise” with the intention of walking across all 50 states.My goal was just to walk across Alabama and get some shoes,” said Hagans, 52, who began his current trek on Monday just north of Fort Collins, Colo. Traveling along back streets, he plans to make his way down the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains, and eventually to Durango, Colo. Wearing shorts, a T-shirt, comfortable walking shoes and backpack containing water and emergency supplies, Hagans’ goal is to cover about 20 miles a day, parking his vehicle, walking and then hitching a ride back to his car. Hagans’ sons R.C., 25; Winchester, 21; and Elliot, 17 will accompany him for portions of the walk. Soles4Souls, a nonprofit shoe company, is sponsoring the “Pilgrimage of a Promise” walk and donating 4,000 pairs of shoes, said Hagans, who during Christmas plans to deliver the shoes to an orphanage in Reynosa, Mexico, and to other missionary organizations that will distribute the shoes to other areas of Mexico. 9 months ago · View
