I was not always a hiker. In fact, I had never really considered it! But, at the silent prompting of God, I laced up my very first pair of hiking boots in 2012 and prepared for my first epic assignment... a 45-mile 19,341′ elevation prayer hike on the world’s tallest free-standing mountain peak... Mount Kilimanjaro! During my year-plus training, I hiked America’s mountain, Pikes Peak, twice.  Then, in the spring of 2013, after many miles of training in Arkansas and Missouri, I packed up and flew out to meet the GodTV team in Tanzania, Africa.

The transformation I experienced during that year and a half was profound. It was a journey that enriched my life in ways I could never have imagined. I was so moved by this experience that I asked the Lord to allow me to share it with others in the years to come. And He, in His grace, has empowered me to lead many teams to various prayer-hiking destinations over the years.

In 2016, I completed a solo 107-mile prayer hike through Virginia into Washington, D.C., “flip-flopping” on the Appalachian Trail. I began that hike with the trail name “Little Sister,” but upon completion, I earned a new trail name: Blaze. I didn’t earn that name because I am fast. I earned it because I am a prophetic trailblazer that you might not see coming.
 
Now, I am leading teams to pray on the tallest summits of each of the 50 United States of America. The journey is ongoing, and I invite you to join us. By accepting a unique invitation, I discovered a life of faith, resilience, and courage. I invite you to join me in pursuing the higher places, living courageously, and loving extravagantly!  

When I am not prayer-hiking the highest elevations in the USA or the world’s tallest peaks to pray for and be a carrier of peace, I am equipping the saints by ministering the Word of God, producing Christian television broadcasts, and publishing books for our ministry, but also for other speakers, authors, and ministries. I believe in God’s big dream inside of every born-again believer, and I would love to walk alongside and help you bring that vision to sight in your life!

We are currently prayer-hiking the 51 US State Summits (these are also called HighPoints). As of the end of 2024, our teams have completed 37 of these state summits! We invite you to connect today to follow the hikes, learn about the summit prayer initiative, and how you can participate! We would love for you to prayerfully consider becoming a GFA Partner in some measure for these expeditions. These are spiritual journeys for all involved and develop our walk with God… Spirit, soul, and body. The Lord has prepared a role for everyone who has the heart to be involved. Take a step of faith! Contact us today to see where your next Great Faith Adventure can take you!

We invite you to join us for the GFA television broadcast and the archives on the KPWC app. We have linked below a few of the additional resources from Great Faith Adventures Television Broadcast. We trust the resources will help you build your faith, walk in Love, and enjoy the journey!
