NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Ted Stone, who completed his third walk across America in 2000, will attempt his fourth crossing in June.
Stone, an evangelist from Durham, N.C., will use the walk to advance his ministry of hope to those trapped in substance abuse and to challenge churches to engage in helping others overcome addictions by having an open heart for broken people.
In June 2002, Stone announced his fourth trek would start in August of that year, crossing America east to west, setting out from Atlantic Beach, N.C. However, doctors diagnosed colon cancer a few weeks later, causing cancellation of the walk; Stone subsequently survived two surgeries. According to the revised plan, Stone will begin in Chicago June 18, ending his walk nine weeks later in Pensacola, Fla. Read More
