There's nothing quite like being out in nature, listening to the birds, looking up at the sun through the leaves, enjoying the quiet. That time of coming away from work, static and distractions and getting with God out in His creation - it's something we all need. It's a good time for reflection.

Would you be interested in putting on a hike-a-thon? It'd be great as part of a spiritual retreat or on it's own.  You could get together with maybe a nature club, or other people you know at that like being outdoors, charge a couple bucks for coming and donate the money to help the street kids being reached by the Love Maputo Project in Mozambique.

Or, you could maybe have everyone participating try and get “sponsored” by friends, family, businesses etc… for at least $20 and have that money donated to the project.

Another thing you could do is make up some tee-shirts for the event and sell them. Once you’ve reimbursed yourselves, the profit could go towards the cause. Or you could always encourage people to buy a fabulous hand tye-dyed Love Maputo tee to wear.

 Any video clips, pictures, quotes you get we would be more than happy to use in an activism story about you and your group on JESUSpolitik.com. You never know who could be touched by a story of what you did to get involved using their talents for God and these kids too.

It'd be therapeutic for your souls, a good time to think about where God is calling you, how you can use your talents for Him in small ways or big ways right now and to pray while you walk through the woods.

If you're interested in putting on a Hike-a-thon, let us know and we'll help you advertise!

 Hike-a-thon!

Love hiking and being outdoors? Us too! It's in that time of getting away that we can refocus, hear God's voice more clearly and recharge!

Why not plan a hike-a-thon for your friends, people at your college, church or community?

It'd be a great time of drawing closer to God and also drawing closer together to help the kids being reached by JESUSpolitik and the Love Maputo Project!
