Washington DC - "Carrying the Cross around the World"

Recently, I had the honor of carrying the cross in our nation's capital. How awesome and amazing! Though, I've walked with the cross here multiple times, this time was extra special…even in the rain the people from all around the world came to the cross! People are hungry! May we lay aside our agendas & opinions and choose to walk in love & humility. Let's lift up Jesus! He's so very worthy!

"A Shout of Joy comes in the Morning" - Carrying the Cross around the World

Storms come. The wind blows. The house shakes. The sky thunders. The river rises. The night seems long, BUT...a SHOUT of JOY comes in the morning!!! If you feel that during this “season” the night is dark, the wind is blowing, the waters are rising and your house is shaking may I take a few moments to encourage and remind you…a shout of joy is coming. Jesus wants to encourage you. He wants you to hold His nail-scarred hand as He leads you through the night. Lean in. Lay your head on His chest and let Him wrap those big arms that He stretched out on the cross. May you find peace and rest in His arms as you go through the storm. A shout of joy is coming in the morning!

Getting through Hard Times (Part 4) Focus - Carrying the Cross around the World

If we’re not careful, it’s SO easy to be distracted by the headlines, the chaos and all the noise that clamors for our attention that we miss that God is quietly working in the background. Sometimes we have to slow down and look past what’s right in front of us screaming for our attention. Let’s remember that our God never stops working. May we always RESPOND to God's Spirit and not REACT to the circumstances around us.

Getting through Hard Times (Part 3) Perspective - Carrying the Cross around the World

The gift of perspective truly puts things into perspective. Things can always be better, but they can always be worse. When we realize this it creates an attitude of thankfulness. And thankfulness brings joy!

Fiji - Carrying the Cross around the World

While we've been in quarantine, I've been trying to learn how to edit. This is my first attempt -- this is from some footage from our recent walk with the cross in Fiji. Thanks for praying for us. God bless you!!

Roadside Rest in Tuvalu - Carrying the Cross around the World!

This is from a VERY needed roadside rest along the way. I landed in Tuvalu at exactly 3:16! How ironic!! John 3:16! God so loved ALL the world - He loves the great and the small; the known and the unknown; the strong and weak. There is no place His love does not reach!

Tuvalu: One Person to the Next - Carrying the Cross around the World!

The journey with the cross is not a journey that can merely be measured in miles; it is a journey from one person to the next...from one heart to the next!

Tuvalu - on the way to church! - "Carrying the Cross around the World!"

In Tuvalu, everything goes through the airport's international runway. To get to church, I took the shortcut down the runway.

"BULA from Fiji!" -- "Carrying the Cross around the World!

This has to be one of the friendliest greetings in the world! In some countries, it feels complicated and formal. Other places, hello can be almost too casual…almost flippant. In Fiji (no, I’m not there right now), though, their greeting of “Bula” feels like it comes from with pure joy and passion straight from their heart! Have a great day…. “BULA!!

Easter Greetings! - Carrying the Cross around the World!

Palm Sunday (Part 2) "Who is this Man?" - Carrying the Cross around the World!

I pray that you are doing well and staying safe! Happy Palm Sunday…part 2! Yesterday I posted some thoughts about Palm Sunday. Hope you don’t mind another thought…The crowds were asking, “Who is this man?” Probably the greatest question ever! Who is He? Jesus asked, “Who do YOU say that I am?”.

Palm Sunday: Jesus can use Anything! - "Carrying the Cross around the World"

Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest! Happy Palm Sunday! When we place our ordinary, common, and seemingly insignificant lives into Jesus' nail-scarred hands, He makes them extraordinary, uncommon & very significant and then uses them for His glory!

Getting through Hard Times (Part 3) God is Good - Carrying the Cross around the World

"I am WITH you!" - "Carrying the Cross around the World"

In the midst of all the fear, disruption, uncertainty, and confusion that's going on in our world, we can be sure that our Father goes before us and walks together with us into the unknown.

As I put the cross together... - "Carrying the Cross around the World"

I promise it takes a lot longer to put the cross together! I thought I'd share the process and save you a little time. As I put the cross together, I'm asking God to share His heart with me for the day. I'm asking Him to lead me to the people whose hearts are waiting and prepared. I'm asking Him to increase and allow me to decrease. I'm praying that I will truly be crucified together with Him so that anyone who sees the cross will not see or hear me, but they will see, hear, experience and know Him!! I'm asking that Jesus' beauty will be seen, His voice will be heard, and His glory will shine through brightly!! May He be lifted up in a way that is simple, pure, clear and that draws many, many to Himself!

How are you spending your Dash? -- "Carrying the Cross around the World"

Recently, I had the honor of speaking at the historic St. Michael's Church in Charleston, SC. While there I had the privilege of carrying the cross for a day. I finished the walk in the historic cemetery just outside the church. The most important there, however wasn't the people buried there; it wasn't the old tombstones...it was the dash on each grave marker. That dash represents our life. How are we spending our dash? God didn't make us to simply endure and exist until we die. Jesus came to give us abundant life! Let's embrace Jesus and the life that He gives! A life surrendered to Jesus is a life full of wonder, beauty and purpose! He is so worthy!

A Celebration of Carrying the Cross around the World

A year ago God gave me the privilege of taking the step with the cross that equaled the distance around the world at the equator – 24,901 miles (40,075 km). Although these were important steps, the most important part of the journey has not been the miles, but the distance from one heart to the next! A good friend of mine, Gregory Fish, captured this on video and just shared it with me to celebrate what God has done on this pilgrimage with the cross. I hope and pray you enjoy this reminder of our celebration of what God has done around the world with the cross as much as we did… Website -- www.kw.org Facebook -- www.facebook.com/kw.cross Instagram -- www.instagram.com/kwheels1 Twitter -- https://twitter.com/kwheels1 LinkedIn -- www.linkedin.com/in/wheelerkeith

From the Azores: How is your Vision? -- Carrying the Cross around the World

Greetings from the Azores! Have you ever seen something so much that you no longer see it? Do your children still fill you with wonder? Does your spouse still take away your breath and cause your heart to miss a few beats? Does the mention of Jesus’ name still fill you with awe and wonder? When is the last time you just paused to gaze on His beautiful face? Or have we been around these precious gifts so much that they have become ordinary, common and familiar?

The WHOLE earth is FULL of God's glory! -- Carrying the Cross around the World!

Greetings from San Miguel, Azores! Here are some roadside "thoughts" on beholding the glory of God. The WHOLE earth is FULL of His glory!

God uses the SMALL and the great! - Carrying the Cross around the World

How do you walk around the world? "Carrying the Cross around the World"!

How do you walk around the world? One step at a time!! God never asks us to "take a leap of faith". He invites us to "walk by faith". When we walk, we do it a step at a time! 😎

"The Way of the Cross" in Portugal -- Carrying the Cross around the World!

This is from a little roadside rest on a trail we found called, "the Way of the Cross" in Portugal. In the "way of the cross" is anything ever supposed to be comfortable? Convenient? Easy? When we take up our cross Jesus uses the cross to shape our lives into His image. Yet, He promises that His yoke is easy & His burden is light, and that He will walk with us ALWAYS!!

Thanks from Lisbon, Portugal -- Carrying the Cross around the World!

Greetings and thanks from beautiful Lisbon. A short report on the walk that day.

Catch the Wave (Portugal) - Carrying the Cross around the World

Here in Nazare, Portugal people come from around the world to risk their lives surfing the largest waves in the world. Even the largest waves on the ocean, however, only last a few moments. For years, I chased adventure of all kinds; I risked my life for definite thrills with indefinite outcomes. Why not catch a wave that's eternal?! Why not take a risk that matters! Let's catch the wave of the Holy Spirit and see where He takes us! May we surrender our rights, our reputations, and even our lives for the glory of God! Jesus is so very worthy!

Greetings from the end of the day in Portugal -- "Carrying the Cross around the World"

“The journey isn’t finished!” – Carrying the Cross around the World!

We made this video the day before we took the “milestone” step. It’s just a reminder that the journey is really about people… If the journey was only about miles I would be finished. However the journey is about following Jesus from one heart to the next… And I think that means I will be on this journey until I see His face!

Join us this Thursday, October 25 at ORU - Carrying the Cross around the World!

This Thursday, 25 October, by the grace and mercy of God, we hope to take the step with cross that will equal the distance around the world at the equator (24,901 miles) at Oral Roberts University. ALL glory and honor to God!! Only He could have done this!! If you'd like to join us for the last few steps we'd love it! My wife & I hope to arrive at the "Praying Hands" in front of ORU at 5 pm. From there, we'll walk along the access road (between Christ Chapel & Lewis Ave.) toward the Mabee Center parking lot and then up the hill to the flame in front of the LRC where I began in 1985. If you'd like to walk with us, we would LOVE to have you! We'd love to hug your neck and say thanks for walking with us all these years! Thanks so much! God bless you!!

"What is that on your shoulder?" -- Carrying the Cross around the World

Often people ask me WHY I'm carrying a cross. In some places, though, people ask me WHAT I'm carrying. They've never ever seen a cross! They've never, ever heard the name of Jesus! Wow! That just compels me to keep going! May we reach out in love and let this world know - the what and the why!

Have you SEEN the Cross? - Carrying the Cross around the World

Have you ever noticed that you can see something so much, even if it is full of beauty and wonder, that we stop seeing it? I pray that my eyes and my heart never become overfamiliar with the cross! May we never lose the wonder!!

Alone with Jesus - Carrying the Cross around the World

Isn't it wonderful how Jesus called His disciples to be alone with Him so that He could explain things to them?! This year let's be sure and pull away with Him; let's make sure we find time to be alone with Him!

You can't walk forward looking backward! -- Carrying the Cross around the World

I know this is really simple, but it's just a reminder...as I've walked around the world I've found that you can't walk forward if we're always looking backward, or looking to far forward. We can't keep rewinding our favorite moments over and over, and we can't fast forward past the difficulties and struggles of today. Let's take advantage of THIS moment! Let's not live in yesterdays' victories or disappointments, and let's not live in fear of tomorrow. Let's live NOW! Let's love, smile, give and reach out now!!

What Time is It? - Carrying the Cross around the World

Happy New Year! As we go into the new year, may this be a reminder that we can't allow our circumstances to stop us from doing God's will. The fields are RIPE for harvest!! May God bless you in every way in 2018!!!

Are we in love with Jesus, or Christianity? - Carrying the Cross around the World

With the Cross in Taiwan - Carrying the Cross around the World

Jesus asked us to pray that the Lord of the Harvest would send out workers into His fields that are so ripe...may we be an answer to that prayer!

Living Water - Carrying the Cross around the World

As I walked by this beautiful river today, it reminded me of Jesus' words, "out of your innermost being shall flow rivers of living waters..." So many times I hear people telling me how such and such place is "dry", "hard", "closed", or "dead". NO!! If so, then that's a horrible commentary on us! We are to allow His living water to flow through us to bring life to our world! We are not to run and hide from this world; we are not to protest and fight back...we are to be His vessels of pure love, joy, hope and peace -- vessels of living water to a thirsty world that's waiting for a drink!! Let's look at, smile at, and reach out to someone today! Thanks for joining us on our journey! May God bless you and your family in every way today!

A Roadside Rest - Carrying the Cross around the World

Roadside Hospitality! - Carrying the Cross around the World

Thank you to all of our friends along the way! So many of you have reached out to us with a cold drink on a hot day; a friendly word of encouragement; a prayer in the middle of the night; a dry, clean, safe place to sleep for a night! Jesus said, "Whatever you have done to the least of these you have done to Me..." Thank you! We love you! God bless you!!

"Happy Father's Day" from Scotland! - Carrying the Cross around the World

Happy BELATED Father’s Day!! I apologize this is a day late! We didn't have very good Internet connections yesterday... I’m so thankful that God gave me a wonderful daddy!! He was one of the kindest, most gentle, generous, & sweet spirited people I’ve ever met! He was, without a doubt, one of the best encouragers I ever had! I'm so thankful that God chose him to be my father! I’m SO thankful God chose to be our Father! Happy Father’s day, fathers! God bless you!! Happy Father’s Day, God!!

Life's Purpose! - Carrying the Cross around the World

Thank you for praying for us! It's been a GREAT day here in Wales! We've had the honor of speaking with and praying with many!! We saw this old church and I thought about getting old. Now, please hear me, there's nothing wrong with being an old church...what IS wrong is that no one goes there any more! It's lost it's purpose! As we grow older, may we never lose our purpose; our destiny; our reason!! May we not just pass through this life! For far too many, life has become the meaningless passage of time between the all too few moments that we are really alive! We end up simply enduring and existing! God has called us to so much more! May we live an ABUNDANT life! May we live a life full of meaning and purpose! Just as that old church was meant to reach people and house the glory of God, so are we!!

Kidnapped Royalty - Carrying the Cross around the World

Thank you for your prayers! Today was an awesome day! We had the privilege of meeting so many people! Many prayers! Many tears! Much rejoicing! I'm reminded once again that people are simply "kidnapped royalty"...men & women created to be sons & daughters to the King of all Kings...but trapped and enslaved to a world of darkness. What a privilege to see slaves set free to be the sons and daughters they were created to be! 😊

England Tragedy - Carrying the Cross around the World

Let us all join in and pray for those affected by last night's horrific attacks here in England! May we pray for God to pour His healing oil on people's hearts! May the Prince of Peace rule and reign in this nation and may His perfect peace which passes all understanding guard their hearts and minds! May they know the promise of His forgiveness and the hope of His resurrection and His Presence as He promises to be with us ALWAYS! Let us pray for those who have lost loved ones, or who have become broken in so many ways during this time. God has us here at this time!! May we never run AWAY from troubles, challenges and fears...may we run TOWARD these things! This is where the cross needs to be! This is where Jesus would be! Please pray that we will lift up Jesus in a pure, simple and humble way while we are here at this time!! Thanks for coming with us on this journey! God bless you!! PS - We apologize for the wind noise on the video!
