Downtown Los Angeles On A Beautiful Cross-Walking Day
Los Angeles. A city of over four million souls. Today the Spirit of God has brought me to this the second largest city in America. A city I’ve been wanting to walk the cross in for a long time. Now, as I headed toward this city that throughly dominates southern California, I wondered what I would tell the men, women and children I came upon. Would they listen to the message of the cross, of Jesus Christ, and of God’s love for them?
The freeway was highly congested, of course. Interstate 5 is the main artery running through the state of California. For whatever reason, I missed the downtown exits, and I hastily took the first exit I could take, which brought me into East Los Angeles, the second place on my destination this new week. I quickly found out why the Spirit of God led me to this exit instead of the ones that would have taken me to downtown L.A. Read the rest of this entry »
Street Evangelist Tom Alexander Praying For Hemet's Thin Blue Line
I really didn’t plan on walking the cross at Hemet. But the Holy Spirit made me aware of a frightening problem in this city that, left unchecked, could hurt many people, starting with the city’s Thin Blue Line. So I gladly traveled the thirty-five miles or so from Riverside, and journeyed to this beautiful city of about 67,000 souls.
The trip was easy and the scenic views filled my soul with joy and awe of God’s creative power. This is a beautiful valley with several lakes. It wouldn’t be bad at all to live in a place like this. As I traveled down the scenic route leading to Hemet, I orally and loudly put on and took up the full armor and armaments of God and then ate the nine spiritual fruit of the Spirit, which I always do before cross-walking any city or town. I was now ready for spiritual warfare.
I knew exactly where I would walk the cross first and foremost. The Hemet Police station. Read the rest of this entry »
From San Bernardino to Riverside. Since 1973 I’ve had the pleasure of working for the Lord as an evangelist. Some one million men, women and children later, it still blesses my heart every time I get the opportunity to shake someone’s hand, talk with them about Jesus, and pray for their needs. As I entered Riverside County I felt the Spirit rising up inside me. Couldn’t wait to park the “go-ye-mobile” and walk the cross in this beautiful city as well.
University Avenue was my exit, which would give me easy access to downtown and City Hall. After checking into my motel room, I took the large cross from off my truck, prayed for a few minutes in the motel’s parking lot, then headed north on University. Response was immediate.

"At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light, and the burdens of my heart rolled away."
Glory Hallelujah, look what God is doing all across the land of California! After a successful cross-walk mission in Pasadena, I traveled some fifty miles east to San Bernardino, a beautiful city that, on this day, was drenched by a pouring rain. But the Cross Walker loves to walk in the rain. Parking about one block from City Hall and the main downtown area, I unstrapped the large cross from the cab and bed of my “go-ye-mobile.” Already people began to gawk and look upon the scene of an evangelist getting ready to tote a large cross throughout their streets.
Love the rain. As I headed toward the main street of downtown San Bernardino, city workers asked me questions about what I was doing. I gladly shared with them my mission: to present the cross of Jesus Christ as God’s plus sign to the men, women and children living in San Bernardino; to proclaim the name above all names, the name of Jesus Christ, to all people; and to pray in the name of Jesus Christ for their city. My mission: to kick-start a great revival in this city, so men, women and children would come to the Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. Read the rest of this entry »
What a way to start a new week of cross-walking. Beautiful day in Pasadena, home to the nationally-known Rose Bowl. Arriving downtown, I found a great place to park, just a block away from City Hall. The people were already awake, even though it was around 8:00. Already getting all kinds of smiles and car horns blowing as I made my way to the massive City Hall building. The Spirit of God was in this place, that’s for sure.
As I walked the cross up to the building and hoisted it upright, people were already making positive comments about the large cross. To my pleasant surprise, a city worker came up and asked if he could pray for the city as well. Read the rest of this entry »
Orange, California. After walking the cross in Tustin (home to Trinity Broadcasting Network) I traveled a few miles to this beautiful and serene city. Parking the “go-ye-mobile” a couple blocks from the downtown area, I unloaded the ten-foot, 60-pound cross and walked east to this city’s main street. Immediately the car horns started up.

Street Evangelist Tom Alexander praying for great revival to break out at TBN and the city of Tustin
Tustin, California. Home to Trinity Broadcasting Network, the largest Christian television ministry in the world. After walking the cross in Santa Ana, I loaded up the large cross on my “go-ye-mobile” and traveled the short distance to the television network. I then visited Pastor Ed Smith at Trinity’s on-site Church.
We sat in those gold colored oversize chairs most people who’ve watched TBN have seen. Brother Ed and I had a great time of prayer for Tustin and the people living in this Orange County city. Crime exists in this city just like any other, and I shared with Brother Ed that I would be walking the cross in this area after we had prayed and fellowshipped for a while.

Santa Ana, California. A beautiful city in Orange County, and not far from Disneyland. Many times I had been here, but today I was on official business from the King of the universe, the Lord Jesus Christ. California’s Cross Walker would walk the cross downtown and throughout the city, praying for Great Revival to break out in this city. Although the government agencies were taking a furlong day off to help with the recession, there certainly were many people downtown and hanging out at the government buildings.

Street Evangelist Tom Alexander praying at City Hall and for the people of San Fernando
After walking the cross in Santa Clarita I headed south about 15 miles to this beautiful city. Parking the “go-ye-mobile” in First Baptist Church’s parking lot, I unloaded the 10-foot, 60-pound cross, and headed a couple blocks to the large Superior Court House building, hoisted the cross upright and prayed for the people of this medium-size town, that God would send the Spirit of Revival throughout the land. This was around noon and lots of individuals were leaving the Courthouse, including many jurors. Many spoke to me and thanked me for praying for their city and for them. I then cross walked the downtown area, headed for City Hall and the Police Station, to hoist the cross and pray for the men and women working at these government and municipal businesses as well.

Monday, April 19th.
Cross Walk Southern California commences with this first Walk The Cross ministry in this large and beautiful Santa Clarita Valley known for its Magic Mountain amusement park. The long walk with the ten foot, 60-pound cross began at McBean Parkway and Valencia Blvd. This is a very heavily used intersection and as many as ten thousand cars passed by as I walked the cross east and then west for several miles. At each major intersection I hoisted the cross and prayed long and hard for the people of these valley cities. I prayed for widespread revival to break out among all the inhabitants.
I then turned my attention to the government part of this large community. Walking to the large City Hall building, I hoisted the cross and prayed for the major and the council members, as well as all city employees, that they all come to Jesus and begin a new life in Christ for the sake of the citizens of this valley community.
