The Go 10 Walk will be here before you know it.  This is a great opportunity for your teens to learn about Free Will Baptist Missions and to help raise a million dollars for the cause.  You can learn about Laura Bell Barnard and check out the faq from the Go 10 website.

Pastor Jon Cannon is our regional representative.  He will be glad to speak with you about this event.  He still needs 3 more day coordinators. If you would be interested, please contact him.  We also need sponsors and walkers and volunteers.  This is an opportunity for everyone!  Also, if you have a blog or facebook account, please consider posting some Go 10 banners on your site.

Below are the Steps for Walkers from the GO10 website if you are interested in walking.

1. Sign up to be a walker on the Go10 Website. Visit www.go10walk.com and sign up to participate in the walk. The site will generate your individual walker page where your sponsors can give to sponsor your 10-mile walk.

2. Set up your personal Go10 Page. When you register you will be asked to give a username and password. As soon as possible, use that username and password to access your page on the site, and post your photo and a short biography. Once you set up your page you can access it to view your goal, track donations, and see your balance. Please note that your information will not post until the content is approved.

3. Begin to recruit sponsors. Every walker is asked to invite others to sponsor his/her walk. Sponsors should include family and friends, but should not be limited only to them. Meet with as many people as possible and ask them to visit your Go10 page to donate in sponsorship of your walk. All donations are tax-deductible. Use these steps to get sponsors involved:
a. Pray for the Lord to lead you to the right people to sponsor you.
b. Ask for a time to meet and share the walk.
c. Use the “Students Walking for the World” sheet to direct the conversation.
d. Share why you are walking from your heart.
e. Ask the person to sponsor you and direct them to your Go10 page.

4. Coordinate with the youth leadership at your church. Even though individuals can participate in the walk, it is helpful and creates excitement to have a church’s participation. The Go10 team encourages youth groups, Christian schools, youth Sunday school classes, and other church groups from across the nation to participate.

5. Be a catalyst to get your church involved. For the walk to be a success, the Go10 project needs as many recruiters, encouragers, and cheerleaders as possible. Take up the challenge to get everyone involved in the project. Use the resources available at www.go10walk.com.

6. Receive your assignment from your Go10 day coordinator. The day coordinator will work with you (and your youth leadership) to give you a route on your walk-day assignment. Day coordinators will work hard to accommodate as many requests as possible; although, sometimes, it may not be feasible to give the requested date.

7. Download your 40-Day Journal and mark your calendar. Set the date when you begin the 40-day preparation for the walk based on your assignment day. All participants are journeying together, not only in the walk, but in the spiritual, emotional, and physical preparation outlined in this important tool. Be sure to download and print the journal once you receive your assignment. The journals will be available online February 1, 2010.

8. Work through your 40-day preparation process. Make a commitment complete your journaling and the associated exercises and activities every day. Set up an accountability relationship to help you stay on track.
