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.
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, April 20, 2019.
You don’t need to be a veteran to participate in the
march. Please pray for those planning this magnificent event.
The march will start at 6:45 a.m. at the Set Free
Christian Fellowship Church in Lolo, Montana. We will proceed south along the
U.S. Highway 93 on the Bitterroot Trail to Angler’s
Roost south of Hamilton.
Walk 1 mile, 3 miles, 20 miles or the entire 40 miles
to Hamilton.
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 Hamilton to Lolo. We still need
cross bearers for this year’s march.
