Our project goal is to achieve eight million steps, representing the distance from the doorstep of our project director’s (Jörgen Nilsson) home in southern Sweden to Jerusalem, and the eight million dollars we have pledged to raise for charitable causes in defense of Christianity.
When the project first began in 2019, our original goal was to walk the duration of Europe and the Middle East to Jerusalem. A distance which was accomplished in the 2012-2013 pilgrimage from Sweden to Jerusalem, using the traditional overland route to Jerusalem, as was used in Medieval times.
Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, in the summer of 2021 it was determined that the eight million steps would now be covered through a collective effort. Done at different places and locations throughout the world. The following is our official record of recognized pilgrimage treks for Steps for Christianity.
