The 61 Miles 2024 Hike-A-Thon is a day to partner with us to raise funds for Sixty One Acres.

As we hike in one of our beautiful parks in Central Florida, we will support 61A’s efforts to bring Healing, Hope, and Wholeness through Christ’s love to all people!

Join us at Colt Creek State Park on Saturday, October 26, at 8 AM as we hike 5 miles through their beautiful trails of oak hammocks and scrub lands! Bring a friend, spouse, or even your tribe to register alongside you and hit the trail.

Your registration will include a 61 Miles Hike-A-Thon shirt, a swag bag, and a snack area at end of the trail. You are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing, hiking shoes, and bring a light backpack with water, snacks, sunscreen, and any other personal items you may need while hiking. As you hike, “Leave No Trace” and pack out all your litter.

Meet us at 8am at the Monarch Pavilion at Middle Lake of Colt Creek State Park to start your personal 5 miles for our 61M hike-a-thon.

Picture these women…

A woman walks into a retreat grieving, angry, and skeptical. She questions if all this is real and is hesitant to trust God.  After experiencing God’s Voice for herself and receiving acceptance and unconditional love, she leaves the retreat rededicating her life to Jesus and getting baptized.

A mom who works full-time arrives at a retreat feeling stuck in her position and wondering what God’s real purpose for her is. She experiences God’s Love, dives into His fingerprint on her life, and leaves understanding and accepting who He made her to be. With confidence and clarity she now can be comfortable in her own skin and focus on His purposes for her future

A woman arrives at a retreat and immediately sobs over the affection she experienced from leaders. Expressing she had never been hugged like that before, she was angry, burnt out and hurt by religion. She believed God had rejected her and had little to no hope. After 3 days of receiving love from the leaders and hearing God’s Voice, she knew for the first time God’s Love for her and left with a smile in her heart and on her face.

 

A woman with health, dietary, and sleep complications arrives at a retreat feeling nervous and unsure. After being reassured that we will accommodate her needs, she is able to rest and relax, knowing she will be loved and taken care of. She has since attended 4 retreats and is discipling her family into deeper intimacy with the Lord. Her families legacy is changing, her health is changing, and the change is evident!


 

These are 4 beautiful examples of the precious women we get to meet at every single retreat! These stories are plentiful and it never gets old to walk with people on their individual journeys! Do you want to be a catalyst to these types of stories?

We need your help!

The 61 Miles 2024 Hike-A-Thon is a day to partner with us to raise funds for Sixty One Acres.  As we hike, we will support 61A’s efforts to bring Healing, Hope, and Wholeness through Christ’s love to all people.

Your support will help 61 Acres in our expansion and growth. We have a 3-step longterm fundraising goal and the money you donate will help fund STEP 1 of our fundraising efforts.

Step 1: Fund an employee for day-to-day operations. This will free up the leaders to develop materials and curriculum, strengthen the leadership, and expand our retreats.

Step 2: Fund a meeting space or “headquarters” here in Lakeland where we can have office space and hold 1-day events.

Step 3: Purchase a larger property with retreat center.
