I’m Dr. Michelle (Pearson) Everett and prayer walks, actually, prayer hikes ARE my day job. Yes, you read that right.  I have the most awesome calling as an adventure chaplain. I am a full-time minister, mountain-taker by day and “secret-service” concierge for other speakers and ministers by night. No matter what venue the Lord intersects our paths, most people find that God uses me to be a catalyst for change!  I would absolutely LOVE for you to join me on these amazing spiritual expeditions that we call… great faith adventures!

I teach it this way: “Transformation precedes promotion. Revelation always precedes transformation. It is the disciplined life of prayer that opens the gates to see and hear the revealed Word of God.”

So, who is this for?

My prayer partners and spiritual expedition teams are comprised of all kinds of folks in all stages of life’s journey! Since 2012, we have had ladies of all ages hook up and train for prayer walks, prayer hikes, higher mountain expeditions, and other great faith adventures with me! (So, don’t use the excuse that you are too old!) We also have groups, churches, Bible study and work groups, men and women and even whole families who join as pray-ers and stayers – who never accompany me physically, but who are every bit as invested in the spiritual journey as the hikers themselves.

We have financial partners who are Kings and senders – these precious gifts equip me to do what WE are called to do in the Kingdom of God. I could not complete the tasks and the call without my senders!! God is my provider, to be certain! But He does equip through the gifts of and in people!

We have authors and speakers, who come along to minister to the ladies in special sessions, or who come along to spend some mountain time writing or for study sabbaticals; we have others who come along to be team helpers and to handle transportation of the hiking teams; we have people who walk, people who hike, and people who do neither. But everyone contributes to the success of the mission.

Though He sometimes sends me to hike alone, no matter where my assignment leads, it always takes a team, a tribe if you will, because that is the Biblical design of fellowship! It takes all gifts and graces, all the joints of The Body, to answer the call to be on God’s prophetic and intercessory prayer team. And He chose YOU as part of His team!

How did this begin for me?

I was fasting, praying, and coaching some wellness clients during a New Years Bootcamp in 2012 when the Lord first called me to begin to hike and pray. And He did not start small!

The first Expedition He asked me to train for was the tallest free-standing mountain peak int he world! Yes, in 2013, I had the grand pleasure of hiking Mt Kilimanjaro with God.TV, which was a faith journey of epic proportions. (Mt Kilimanjaro Video is here.) While in training for Mt. Kilimanjaro, I hiked Pikes Peak twice in 2012, once with Operation Mobilization and once as a solo trek.

In 2014 and 2015, the Lord allowed me to begin leading our own expedition teams on amazing trips to Pikes Peak, in Colorado. More than just mountain climbs, the teams spend a tremendous 6 month period together training and developing faith, hope, and love, Spirit, soul, and body! For 2015, as you can see in the video below, the Lord expanded the vision so that were joined by several additional folks as Base Camp members to pray and transport.

With a team of 11 on the ground in 2015, we prayed over 700 hours for our nation, the nations, our cities, families, and friends, and for all those along the way who need the love of our great God. And then we stepped it up even higher…

The following year (2016), our teams were professionally coached in wellness and nutrition while they covered this nation in more than 2400+ hours of prayer, took 4800+ miles of prayer walks, read thru the NT twice, plus completed 6 additional life-enriching, vision-building, character-developing studies! 

Also in 2016, we expanded to two powerful prayer expeditions. The first was to Great Smokey Mountains with a full team. The second, Team #OnPurpose, was a prayer team of hundreds, perhaps thousands, globally, praying 127 days, July 4th through November 8th, for peaceful elections in the USA, for the honor of our nation, the peace of Israel, and the manifest Glory of God.

The culmination of these days of prayer was a 10-day, 100+ mile prayer hike! This was the longest, toughest journey to date physically, but the years prior had prepared me for such a time as this. Supported by the amazing prayer team and senders, the Lord ordered my steps to take the 107-mile journey alone, joined only in Spirit to my faithful partners and triple-crown team! Yes, that is right, I hiked the 107+ miles physically alone in the mountains of Virginia, praying – and yes, that is a miracle for this girly-girl of comforts. But the bears, mice, and miles were no match for the grace of being in the perfect will of God! Because Love asked.

Love asked something else of me on this long hike alone with God. Love asked me to open my heart again. Extraordinary things, supernatural things, can and do happen when we join the Lord for great faith adventures… And that is a story for another day. 😀

Our theme for all of the hikes is #OnPurpose and #Indivisible, and we will be praying for that individually, corporately, nationally, and globally, knowing that complete victory is possessed as we are reconciled In Christ, as we walk As Christ, loving those along the way… because Love asked. We will also be praying that individually, corporately, nationally, and globally, for the possessing of the undivided heart. Therein lies the possession of every fulfilled promise. 

In 2017, #LittleSister (my AT trail name) experienced many God-breathed changes, one was the prophetic Word of God that changed my trail name to… #Blaze. As the Lord declared my trails to be those of a “prophetic pioneer,” He reminded me through the wisdom of my mentor, Dr. Clarice Fluitt, that it is the prophetic voice of Christ that heals the wounded Body of Christ.

#Expedition2017 culminated in a 21-day prayer expedition between November 1-21. The Lord directed my steps to cover many locations in the Ozark Mountains – America’s heartland – the highest points in Arkansas (Mt. Magazine) and Missouri (Taum Sauk Mountain in the Saint Francois Mountains). Teams of all ages and interests walked and hiked with me to pray and intercede for loved ones, salvation, deliverance from addictions and destructions, redemption from wrong choices and harmful paths, as well as peace for our country and its purpose and place on the international landscape.  

Those high points made our first 3 State Summits (the highest elevations of the state) our teams had completed so far. (The first was in May 2016 at Clingman’s Dome, Tennessee – an extraordinary highpoint story of answered prayer in itself!)  As the various teams joined me, we took to the mountains for prophetic and intercessory prayer, specifically to pray these areas: #Redeemed #Reconciled #Restored #Renewed.

What’s next?

Beginning with those first few high points, a high prayer vision began to unfold! #Expedition2018 was the beginning of a very big assignment! One which will continue for several years! Our current assignment positions us in prophetic and intercessory prayer on the high points of all 50 states! We will be declaring the Kingdom of God IS COME, praying for peace in our national elections, and praying for sweeping floods of reconciliation, declaring our #Indivisible position In Christ.

As of 08/01/2023, we have prayer hiked declaring #GodsKingdom is come on top of the highest elevations of 35 states, plus Washington DC!!   We have 15 more to go.

The most physically and mentally challenging summits are ahead of us. BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL TO EQUIP US! He has called out this band of Believers to give voice to this mission. WE WILL PREVAIL! Please join your faith and declarations from The Word with these Great Faith Adventures!

How can you participate in your own great faith adventure?

If you are interested in being a part, please let me know with an email from the contact page! Training is online and in your local area and will begin as state teams are formed and will continue year to year as we complete the #highpoint prayer assignments.  

We completed great faith adventure prayer trips in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022; the 2020 trip was more than 6700 miles, 6 highpoints, and lots of training on one epic road trip! The 2023 trips will far exceed that with nearly 10,000 road miles and 7 highpoints! And these 7 HPs are not a walk in the park! BUT where the Spirit of The Lord is, there is freedom, there is liberty! As we summit the highest elevation of each state, The Spirit of the Lord is there declaring freedom and the Kingdom of God.

Our theme for the hikes is #OnPurpose and #Indivisible, and we will be praying for that individually, corporately, nationally, and globally, knowing that complete victory is possessed as we are reconciled In Christ, as we walk As Christ, loving those along the way… because Love asked. We will also be praying that individually, corporately, nationally, and globally, for the possessing of the undivided heart. Therein lies the possession of every fulfilled promise.

The question is now… what gifts and graces will you allow Love to use for this adventure in faith?

I am calling in the prayer walkers, casual hikers, day hikers or backpackers, a transport team, the senders, and basecamp pray-ers. This is God’s call to reconciliation. You want to have a part in this. I am fully persuaded this is a set-time of harvest, the time when the reaper overtakes the sower. And we will be praying that with every obedient step.

I went on the 2016 long-distance expedition by myself. I would greatly be blessed to have some of you with me, walking physically alongside this time as I cover every US state. If not physically, can I invite you, even implore for you, to come alongside in whatever way He leads you to.  #Blaze has committed to answering His call. Will you? Check your heart and ask God what part HE wants you to have in these great faith adventures!

The equipping is in the command.

Come! Let us rise together to high places!  ~ Dr. Michelle a.k.a #Blaze
