Evangelist carries 12-foot cross around the world for 26 years

2/28/2013

OK, he's cheating a little. There's a wheel attached to the wooden crucifix that 60-year-old Lindsay Hamon has been pulling across the world nearly half his life. But there's nothing in the Bible banning ergonomically friendly symbols of faith, and the modification came in handy when he was running from bullets that were fired at him in Bangladesh. Hamon has been thrown out of St. Peter's Square, too, but usually the reaction is more embracing, like when he's offered food and a bed for the night. God will provide, but only so much: Hamon regularly returns to his care-worker job in England because "I … tried doing this full time but I didn't get enough money to make ends meet." [Source]
