Sorry for the delay in posting. Several of us were at a Stampin' Up party last night and I didn't have enough time to get the totals together and make the post. This week we came in a little short, but hopefully we will have more days like today (it is a beautiful, warm 65 degrees - we even have our windows open), and we will be able to get out and get moving more!!
This week's totals are 274.61 miles for the week, which brings us to 986.82 miles total. Although we are short, to think that we will go over 1000 miles next week, is amazing for 5 families!!
Please continue to pray for us for health and safety as we continue to walk the miles for Jesus. Pray for our commitment to serving God. Pray for everybody who is going to Romania and also on the other Mission trips being offered this year. Pray about supporting us in our endeavor to meet the financial goals and the deadlines that are coming up soon. Thank you to those who have already blessed us with contributions, it means the world to us!!
We are a group of mission-minded individuals who have a passion for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with people here in NC, in the United States, and other countries as well. We are using this Walk-A-Thon to help earn money to go to Romania in August, 2011.

3rd Week Totals are In
We all have very busy lives....but we have really tried to STEP it up this week. Our families walked a total of 288.96 miles this week! We have now completed 712.21 miles. This is the best week by far and we are doing everything we can to do even better next week. We are getting our families involved and we are looking forward to continuing walking down this path towards Romania!
Other things are starting to pick up as well. I have gotten confirmation for some great items for our basket(s) raffle and will still be working on that in the coming weeks. Stay tuned...you won't want to miss a chance (or several) chances to win a basket filled with locally owned business goodies and hand-made with love items. ***IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE ANYTHING FOR OUR BASKETS*** please let me (Bobbie). If you own your own business, we will attach your business card to your item and will be listing the donated items when the basket becomes ready to be raffled off - Can you say FREE ADVERTISING??? Anything you can give, that is home-made, or would make a great GIFT is welcomed.
Thank you for following our updates. We look forward to continue walking and believe with your prayers and God behind us, we will go far!
God Blessings to you all!

2nd Week Totals
This week has been crazy for all of the families who are walking. We had snow/ice down here in NC and it has pretty much crippled our fine city. Many of us felt that we didn't walk as much as we should have, with the snow and ice and sicknesses, but we all agree that we will pick it back up this week.
This week, we clocked 204.5 miles. This makes a total right now of 423.25 miles walked. We are well on our way to Romania. Won't you join us in praying for our team? Thank you for your support. Please pass this website on to anybody you know. We definitely would like to grow our supporters and prayer warriors as we continue this challenge.
Praying that everybody has a great week.

Our First Week Totals are In
Well Friends...our first week is complete and our Exerciser Tracker has been updated. All families have posted their totals and all together we have walked 218 miles towards our goal of 5,311. Not bad for our first week! We are excited to continue on this journey.
Please follow our progress on this blog and tell all of your friends about us. We would like to have more followers. Our personal letters will be sent out soon, but our hope is we will have people see us and the progress we are making and want to contribute to our goal.
We also ask that you include us in your prayers. We know that prayer works and we also know we have great friends who believe in prayers. Together, we can not only walk our way to Romania, but we can pray our way as well! THANK YOU for your support.

Website still under construction
We are still making changes, please come back often for updates. We plan to update the total miles walked every Saturday. Soon, we will have biographies of all of the families to the right so you can get to know us....check out the individual pages in the days to come!!
Welcome to Our Blog
Hello - thank you for visiting our website. We are very excited to be Walking the Miles to Romania for Jesus.
We would love for you to click on the right and follow our progress over the next 6 months. We are aiming to walk a total of 5,311 miles, which according to Google, is the air mileage from Charlotte, NC to Romania. There are 11 of us. We have 4 months...that means an average of 482 miles each over the next 4 months.
Please be in prayer about helping us. We are asking for pledges of any amount. Seriously...anything and everything will help! Just 1 cent a mile for all 5,311 miles would be $53.11. 2 cents a miles is $106.22. If you can't afford either, any small amount will greatly appreciated. No amount to small!
This is our plan. We are starting now in January. There are 11 of us. We have 4 months (from now through April). We will each aim to walk 482 miles. We are asking for your help. Please click the CHIP IN button above or contact us individually or by comment if you have any questions. We will have other opportunities as well. We are planning a yard sale/bake sale/craft sale, we will also be doing a Basket Raffle, and a drama/dessert coming up in March.
Our prayer is that we are able to use your donations to benefit the people of Romania. We want to bless them and love on them!
More to come!
