Prepare to be amazed, as you read a "true life" account that is inspiring and unique. This is the incredible account of how the NC-based Faith In Focus ministry team traveled to all 50 states in only 50 days. The 50-states-in-50-days "Tour Of Truth," was held May 20 through July 8, 2000. During this time, Alex McFarland and his ministry team presented their multi-media Christian program every evening in every state, in only 50 days!
This never-before-accomplished feat was further distinguished in that every night's service was broadcast LIVE over the internet from each U.S. state. The group was composed of speaker Alex McFarland, his faithful wife Angie, and a support team of drivers, singers, and technicians. All were linked together by the desire to touch lives for Christ, and to make a positive difference for the spiritual condition of America. Taking their program to each state in 50 days invloved a grueling schedule that would stretch their sense of commitment to the limit.
Starting in Hawaii, flying to Alaska, then driving throughout the lower 48 states, the team of 9 people traveled over 19,000 miles, as they presented the message of Christ in every state. Hundreds of churches and groups participated in this unique event, and thousands heard the timeless message of God's love in a very innovative way. Read about prayers answered, needs provided, danger narrowly avoided, and lives changed, all in only 50 days! Find out what the team learned firsthand, in order to truly be used by God.
The May 20-July 8 2000 "Tour of Truth" made international headlines, but the real blessing was in the many people who heard and responded to the message of Christ. The team member's lives were forever impacted by following God's call, and carrying out the "Tour of Truth." Your life will be touched by reading the miracle story of an unprecedented event, the 50 States In 50 Days Crusade.
