In December of 1969, Arthur Blissit began to carry a
twelve-foot wooden cross on a journey that would take
him around the world and in every nation on earth. Since
that time, he has walked over 37,000 miles with the cross
in more than 300 nations and territories. You could look
into website to order the book, "Give Me A J". www.tbn.org.
What exactly does he do? Here are two examples:

Arthur and his wife were carrying the cross in Sri Lanka--
a predominately Buddist nation. A story about a man who
met Arthur and his wife, Denise, carrying the cross. A
man asked question about the cross and Arthur. He told
of how he was dying and a Man came to him, but the man
didn't know His name. The man recognized the cross from
the bookstore. Arthur had introduced Jesus to him and
that His name was Jesus. Arthur told him about the Bible.
The man gloriously welcomed Jesus in his life. Jesus had
revealed Himself to this man.

Another example of a short story: Continue Part 7.

Dorothy: It reminds me of a song:
Reach out and touch the Lord as He walked by.
You'll find He's not too busy to hear your heart cry.
He's passing by this moment, your need to supply.
Reach out and touch the Lord as He walked by.
