A man on a mission made his way through Branson this week.
Michael Vail, who resides in Hot Springs, Arkansas, could be seen walking through Branson on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. He was carrying a very large cross.
"This cross has approximately 7,000 miles on it all together," said Vail. "I have walked in El Paso, Texas, and all over the East Coast. I just walk and talk to people on the side of the road. I visit with people and tell them about Jesus."
Hail discovered his purpose in 2019.
"I had a major heart attack," recalled Vail. "When I was in the hospital, God spoke to me and said 'I am going to save your life. When you get out, build a cross.'"
Vail's heart episode was so severe, according to his surgeon, that only four percent of those in that condition even survive. But Vail beat the odds. And, he remembered his message from God.
"I've been walking ever since," Vail noted. "My wife and I do this together. Sometimes we'll stay out as much as a month at a time."
Vail said the response he received in Branson was positive.
"I met a couple from Chicago and met a couple from Minnesota this morning," Vail shared on Monday. "I met several people who are local, too."
When asked what he wanted people to know, Vail said, simply, "Pay attention to what's going on in the world and pay attention to Jesus."
