    Hi, just wondering if anyone has spotted a man carrying a large, brown wooden cross in the Fermanagh/Monghan/Tyrone area. (No jokes please, each to his/her own beliefs in my life).

    I was driving from Enniskillen to Monaghan on Wednesday midmorning and I passed the guy a short distance from Enniskillen.
    I also heard from people who had seen him in the Monaghan/Tydavnet area (Clogher road) later in the week.
    Does anyone know who he is, where he is going, or anything else about his journey.
    Just being a bit nosey, but as I said, each to his/her own.... He obviously has Faith of some kind.
    All information or journey details appreciated, please and thanks.

    From an email from the Blessit website last Saturday 18th June.
    Dear friends and supporter and prayer partners,
    We are in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the moment. Had a great and glorious Day last Saturday as crosses were carried from four different directions; north, south, east and west in Belfast with all coming together at the dividing wall between the Protestant and Catholic areas on Northumberland Street. The team with me carried two crosses along the Falls and also the Shankill Roads the center of the 'Troubles' or War in the past. There is a huge dividing wall through the area with gates open most day but closed at night.
    We had a glorious rally at the New Life Church which sets half on the Protestant side and half on the Catholic side. Pastor Jack McKee and the Kingdom Alliance fellowship of churches put this all together.
    I carried the cross in Belfast, first about this same time in 1971. It was my first overseas trip cross walk for Jesus...and it was into this war. I was back again in late 71' then returned for forty days in 1972. It was then that I Billy Graham came over and I took him into the war and on both sides and we prayed at the 'Peace Line'. A story from this time is told in the movie "The Cross, the Arthur Blessitt Story"
    Now how wonderful that so much has changed. Now we had hundreds of follows of Jesus in the streets sharing Jesus. We had great meetings Saturday night and Sunday morning and night.
    The wall is still up but there is a unity government and the troops are not in the streets. Great progress has been made.
    After forty years a dream come true. So many were coming up saying they were saved on the street or in one of our meeting back then. Many are now pastors and leaders. I'm thrilled I lived to see the changes with my own eyes and hear with my ears. Denise and Sophia were with the cross all through the troubled areas. They are awesome.

    We leave tomorrow for Poland where I carried the cross four different years in the early 1980's. I was in jail there and then walked with 70,000 people across the country with the cross. We will also be carrying the cross to Auschwicz where there is the horrible concentration camp. To somehow bring the blessings of God were so many Jewish people were killed is one of our missions. And to pray such never happens again. There are still people that are enemies of the Jews. May we place love and peace where hate and death filled the air. May the cross of Love be seen. The love of God in the Face of Jesus.
    We post updates on our website every few days.
    Later we go to England and do a crosswalk in the SouthEast of the country then a great rally in Colchester, the oldest town in England. There is an awaking taking place there with an exploding church Kingsland. We are going with the vision of a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit and Jesus in England.

    So it's not him!!! He left Ireland last Saturday.

    By Friday afternoon, the man (carrying a cross with wheels on it) appeared to be making his way from Monaghan to Armagh, having passed through Middletown village in the afternoon.
    A number of people have confirmed locally that they saw him, but as yet no one can tell who he is or anything about his pilgrimage.

    The man carrying the cross has been identified as Pastor Clive Wilson, of Richhill Elim Pentecostal Church. Not sure of his pilgrimage details, but saw a photo of him in local paper. No info on his Facebook page.
