Take Up the Cross and Follow Him

Matthew 16:24-25 New King James Version (NKJV)

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

Corvallis, MT – The Christian Veterans of the Bitterroot are a group made up of followers of Jesus Christ who have served in the military. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ and a veteran, then you have a place in this group. Our motto is “give back with love,” and our goal is to help fellow veterans, their families and the local community through prayer and work. We want all Christians, particularly veterans, to know that they are not alone and we and others are here to help them.
As a group we believe it is time for local Christians to stand up and show solidarity with fellow Christians here and around the world. The Christian Veterans of the Bitterroot are asking all Christians in the Bitterroot Valley to “March for Jesus Christ” on Holy Saturday, March 26, 2016.
The march will start at 7:00 a.m. at the Angler’s Roost Bridge south of Hamilton. We will proceed north along the U.S. Highway 93 pedestrian path to the Set Free Christian Fellowship Church in Lolo, Montana.
Walk 1 mile, 3 miles, 20 miles or the entire 40 miles to Lolo.
We are asking all of the Bitterroot Valley Churches to participate by walking a three mile section as a group. If you can’t walk it, then provide a station with water, power bars, drinks, etc., to help those who are walking. Last year we had churches, organizations, families and individuals carry The Cross in three mile increments from Lolo to Hamilton. We still need cross bearers for this year’s march.
You don’t need to be a veteran to participate in the march. Please pray for those planning this great event.
or call Doug Mason 546-4244 or attend the prayer breakfast at BJ’s every Monday at 7:00 am.
