Kentucky native Greg Jones hit the Cassville streets last week on a mission to share the Word of God.
Last week, a stranger walked into our small part of the world to show the community the meaning of unconditional love, kindness, hope and forgiveness.
His name is Greg Jones, he is from Lexington, Kentucky, and according to Jones, on November 22, 2019, he gave up his worldly possessions and began his mission to walk to the West Coast, spreading the Word of God along the way to those that may feel lost, need a kind word, or a bit of inspiration. He began his journey on that November day after asking God in prayer what he could do to reach out to more people and bring them closer to Him. Jones states he heard God’s voice tell him to “drop it all and go”, so he did.
Armed with his cross, one of seven he has carried for over 4,000 miles through sixteen states in the U.S., Jones estimates he has given his testimony that “God Always Provides” to over 10,000 people and has shared his story at over 300 churches, rehabs and shelters.
“Anywhere I can bring hope and inspiration to people, that is where I go because there is hope in Jesus and he is our only Savior,” Jones said at a recent gathering at the Fishers of Men Family Resort in Cassville where he spoke to an area mens group. He shared many stories of his travels and how God places him in people’s life when they need him and vice versa.
According to Jones, he has never slept a night outside and has never been hungry. When asked where he plans to travel to next, he stated he is not sure, but he knows he is heading west.
When asked how long he plans to do this, Jones said, “Til the day I die. I’m going to keep going until He tells me to stop or until the day I die because I already know where I am going.”
