“Jesus
then said to his disciples, ‘If any man will follow me, let him forsake
himself: and take up his cross, and follow me.’”
Matthew 16:24, 1599 Geneva Bible
Corvallis, MT – The Christian Veterans of the Bitterroot of Corvallis Post #91, The American Legion, Department of Montana, Inc., are a group of followers of Jesus Christ who have served in the military. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ and a veteran, you are welcome to join us. Our motto is “give back with love,” and our mission is to support fellow veterans, their families, and the local community through prayer and service. We aim to remind all Christians, especially veterans, that they are not alone and that we stand ready to assist them.
We believe it is time for local Christians to rise and demonstrate solidarity with fellow believers here and across the globe. The Christian Veterans of the Bitterroot invite all Christians in the Bitterroot Valley to participate in the “Walk for Jesus Christ” on Saturday, April 19, 2025. You do not need to be a veteran to join this walk. Please lift up in prayer those organizing this inspiring event.
The walk will begin at 7:00 a.m. at the Set Free Christian Fellowship Church in Lolo, Montana. Participants will head south along U.S. Highway 93 on the Bitterroot Trail to Angler’s Roost, south of Hamilton. Choose to walk 1 mile, 3 miles, 20 miles, or the full 40-mile journey to Hamilton.
We call on all Bitterroot Valley churches to join by walking a three-mile segment as a group. If walking isn’t possible, consider supporting the walkers by setting up a station with water, energy bars, drinks, or other refreshments. Last year, churches, organizations, families, and individuals carried The Cross in three-mile increments from Hamilton to Lolo. We are still seeking cross bearers for this year’s walk.
