PCF....Do You Remember this Guy?


Steve Wescott and Leroy Brown. About 2 years ago I ran into this guy and his goat in downtown Edwardsville sitting in front of the Stagger Inn. I started a conversation with him and found out he had been walking for almost 2 years with his goat Leroy. They started in Seattle Washington! Their goal was to walk all the way to Times Square New York City to raise money for an orphanage in Nairobi Kenya. Of course I then invited him to come speak at our church, Praise Community Fellowship and, as Jesus has perfect timing, we were meeting at Glik Park that Sunday. 

Steve gave a great testimony and an interesting and funny talk about walking the country with a goat. 
So I have been following Steve over the past two years. Sad news, Leroy died last year. Evidently someone fed him something that made him very sick at one of his stops. I believe it happened somewhere in Ohio. Steve then replaced Leroy with a new goat named "Miles." Since Steve left the Edwardsville area he has been on the Steve Harvey Show and has been on several news and radio shows.

The reason for this post, Steve and Miles have made it to New York City!  Miles is currently taking a few days rest at a farm there while Steve is preparing for their grand entrance into Times Square. What a journey! Here is Steve's website about his cause and info about his long journey!

Life is a journey and it can be wonderfully crazy. It's up to you! Praise Community Fellowship and Immanuel Methodist church welcome everyone looking for a new journey. We are all about love, compassion, fun, laughter, care, prayer, and fellowship.  Who knows what the next Sunday will bring? We like to mix it up!  

Sunday service is at 8:45am. We are located at 800 North main St. Edwardsville. 

Come be part of the fun!  Sincerely, pastor kent and pastor jackie
