TAKE A WALK. JOIN A MOVEMENT!

GirlTrek is a nonprofit organization and grassroots movement of thousands of Black women and girls who walk for better health! They call us walking warriors. We’re bringing neighborhood walks back! You’ll see us on the street wearing “superhero blue” - walking to heal our bodies, to inspire our girls and to take back our communities!

CALLING ALL SAINTS!

Walk with GirlTrek in your neighborhood for 9 days to pray for and cultivate the 9 fruit of the Spirit: “love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT). If you’re battling unhealthy habits, this trek will help you step out on faith and jumpstart a daily walking routine. We pray for the strength to make healthier choices. LEAD CHANGE.

We are facing a health crisis. Our families are affected by and dying from preventable obesity-related diseases. The CDC says that 1 in 2 Black girls born in 2000 will likely get diabetes unless diet and levels of activity change. THIS is our call to action! As GirlTrek launches a national health movement, we need you to serve as spiritual leaders, “for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities.” - Ephesians 6:12

9-Day

GirlTrek’s 9-Day Prayer Trek

☐ Day 1: LOVE ”Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.” (3 John 1:2). We begin by showing love to our bodies. The Centers for Disease Control says 30 minutes of walking 5 days per week at a moderate pace will greatly reduce disease risk. What is a moderate pace? At GirlTrek, we try to walk a “heart-pumping pace! Your Assignment: Make your heart go pitter-patter! Love your body by doing 1 mile around a local track – that’s 4 laps. Walk at a brisk pace! Time yourself. If you can walk the first lap in 3 minutes – you’re doing great! If it takes you 5 minutes – you’re still in the zone. If one lap take you more than 5 minutes – we have work to do. Your goal is to walk a mile in 15 minutes or less. As you walk at a heart-pumping pace, feel your breath intensify – that’s God’s power – moving through your body, sustaining you with each step. Give thanks for the gift of life! Tweet your testimony with #GirlTrek Go the Extra Mile: Schedule a preventive physical examination with a doctor today.

! Day 2: JOY “I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalms 34:1). The Bible says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!” Today, we walk and worship! Your Assignment: Pick a place to walk that feels special – a place of solitude, maybe a scenic trail or lakefront, or through your neighborhood at sunrise. As you walk, listen to nature, feel the sunlight on your skin and delight in the beauty of God’s creation. You may want to bring along your favorite praise and worship music to lift your spirits. Start to count your many blessings! Before the walk is over, take a moment – you may even want to raise your hands - and say “Thank you God!” Really rejoice in the glory that surrounds you. Go the Extra Mile: Call someone or stop someone on your way home and tell her your personal testimony about what God has done for you.

! Day 3: PEACE “The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.” (Psalm 29:11). Today we walk and pray for peace of mind. Chronic stress puts your health at risk. We know that cortisol, the main stress hormone, alters our immune system, digestive function and contributes to rapid weight gain. Financial worries are a leading cause of stress for so many of us. Today, we get on top of money management and move toward peace of mind. Your Assignment: Walk to your local post office and mail a bill payment. Thank God for allowing you the resources and for all the future blessings with your name on them. As you walk, imagine yourself walking through life. How do you picture your life in 5 years? 15 years? 30 years? What spending habits changes do you need to make now? Commit to a 2-week “financial fast” – saving as much as you can by refraining from purchasing ANY luxury items – including fast food. Put the money you save in in an untouchable account and start building from there. Pray for strength to continue to do the work. Make the sacrifices. Peace of mind is a balance between work and faith. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.” Go the Extra Mile: Order a copy of your latest credit report. You can get a FREE copy from TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax once a year.

! Day 4: LONG-SUFFERING Sometimes, your health journey seems long - too difficult to stay the course. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31). Today we pray for patience and wisdom. Your Assignment: Walk with a senior citizen in your family. If he or she is unable to walk, you can call while you are walking or walk to their home. Seek guidance from your elder. Ask for advice on how to live a healthy, more fulfilled life. What are her tips for happiness and longevity? Listen intently and share any tips by using #GirlTrek on social media. Say a special prayer for her health and happiness. Go the Extra Mile: Research your family’s health history. Interview family members about family conditions and causes of death. If it’s helpful, you can complete an online questionnaire like this one: http://www.cdc.gov/Features/FamilyHistory/. Use the information you learn to start important conversations to get early screening and establish new family traditions.

! Day 5: KINDNESS Poet Khalil Gibran said, “The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.” Your Assignment: Perform an “act of kindness” in your neighborhood. As you walk, keep your eyes and heart open to what your community needs. Perhaps you’ll plant flowers, pick up litter, take books to a local senior citizen home, or give a card to a grieving neighbor – let the Lord lead you on this one! Start by greeting every person you pass with a warm “Hello”, “Good morning”, “God loves you!” or simply an acknowledgment with your eyes and a friendly nod. Pray for the health of every person you pass. Pray that God’s light will shine through you on your walks. The Bible says, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these” (Mark 12:31) Go the Extra Mile: Perform your act of kindness before the end of this challenge!

☐ Day 6: GOODNESS The Bible says, “make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge” (2 Peter 1:5). Today, we pray for our kids. We want good kids – not just smart kids. We pray that our schools will teach knowledge and virtue. Walk to a local school, a day-care center or the library. As you walk, pray that God will lead educators to model and teach good character as well as academic excellence. If the Spirit leads you, send a local principal, dean, teacher or staff member a note or e-mail of thanks and encouragement. Go the Extra Mile: Invite a girl in your life to take a walk with you. As you walk, listen to her. Serve as a mentor on the trail. Ask her what she cares about. Give her positive feedback, good advice and kind words.

☐ Day 7: FAITHFULNESS The classic hymn says, “Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy

hand hath provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!” Today, walk to a park, school or fitness center with a track and walk 8 laps around – that’s two miles. There are times when it feels like life is taking you in circles – round and round the same old struggles – and you feel defeated and want to give up. Walk and remind yourself that God IS God and remains faithful to His Word that He will never leave. If God never gives up on us, we owe it to Him to never give up on ourselves, even in the face of doubt, fear or past setbacks. Walking these last 7 days may not have been easy or convenient, but you have a goal and purpose to fulfill. Don’t. Stop. Now. Go the Extra Mile: Create a weekly walking schedule, make time to walk 30 minutes, 5 days each week, and stick with it.

! Day 8: GENTLENESS You are enough. Say it. “I am enough.” Repeat it to yourself all day. Sometimes we are

tender to those around us, but harsh to ourselves. Caring for our bodies requires gentleness and self-love. Today, take yourself on a walking date. Walk to the spa for a pedicure, to a local restaurant for a your favorite meal, or to your favorite park on a solo stroll. Pray that you see yourself and love yourself in the same way that God loves you. "For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well.” (Psalm 139:13-14). Go the Extra Mile: Write a love letter to yourself. Give a detailed description of what makes you so lovable, vibrant and beautiful. Mail it to your home address. Open it when you’re having a tough day.

☐ Day 9: SELF-CONTROL “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Walk to a supermarket or convenience store and ask the Lord to grant you self-control to make the food choices that are necessary to maintain a healthy body. Pray for discipline in your eating choices. Go the Extra Mile: Purchase groceries and supplies to prepare a healthy dinner the next 3 nights. Post pictures of your culinary masterpieces

using #GirlTrek on social media!
