Cross Walk Bakersfield and Cross Walk California: The beginning of a very long and on-going cross walk throughout the cities and towns of California, an Endless Easter safari of following the Son and sharing the Good News about Jesus Christ’s awesome and magnificent resurrection. On August 31, 2006, local history was made when Street Evangelist Tom Alexander completed a six-month journey cross-walking every major and sub-major street throughout greater Bakersfield. Because each street, boulevard, road, lane, highway, etc. was actually cross-walked twice in round-trip segments averaging eight miles per day, Monday through Friday and at least two Saturdays each month, the cross-walk took six months.

As well as walking the streets of Bakersfield Tom has stopped at every elementary, middle school, and junior high, and high school in Bakersfield and prayed for all the students, their parents, the school personnel, the principals and board members.

His prayer is for all kids to say no to drugs, gangs, guns, and other forms of violence. That they stay in school and discover the importance of obtaining a high school diploma. Finally that all would eventually say yes to Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.

Why?

God is not willing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). The souls of people are precious to the Lord. That’s the primary reason why I began carrying the cross in March of this year. Utilizing a threefold cord of:

1. Honoring the Lord Jesus Christ for what He has done in my life
2. Presenting the cross of Jesus Christ as God’s plus sign to Bakersfield
3. Praying for the people passing by in vehicles and for those living in home, apartments, townhouses, duplexes, and condominiums in the communities and neighborhoods I passed by

Cross Walk Bakersfield  has been used by the Lord of Heaven and Earth to create a powerful prayer dragnet around and through the city of 329,000. Cross Walk California is just as amazing!
