GC youths embark on historic GBIMC

The intercessory walk initiative, birthed in New York City four years ago, is expected to gather hundreds of young people from every corner of Gaborone on Sir Seretse Khama Day.Monrovia, Liberia is the only African city to have done the walk last year in April.  The walk was started in 2009 by an American school principal Daniel Sanabria and his youth group in response to an atheist advertisement.Chairman of the organisation behind the walk, Unashamed Movement, Tshenolo Palai explained how the initiative was birthed.

"In October of 2009, some youths in America saw an atheist advertisement campaign in their subway system which stated, 'A Million New Yorkers Are Good Without God.  Are You?'  They were so stirred up by this, that they went to their Youth Pastor who then went to his network of youth leaders to ask what had to be done. They prayed and decided to take action," Palai told Showbiz.
