Arthur Blessitt

I, Arthur Blessitt have completed my walk and mission on earth. I departed to heaven on January 14, 2025. I was just a donkey and pilgrim, lifting up the cross and Jesus and loved the people of the world. What a glorious journey of life with Jesus my Lord and Savior. 

I’ve really been looking forward to this walk in Glory. These feet that walked so far on roads of dirt and tar will now be walking on the streets of gold. Ready to see Jesus again! I rejoice in Jesus, now, and in the hour of my passing. “Father, into Your Hands Jesus I commit my spirit”. 

I am home at last, this was my last trip! I have been an evangelist, soulwinning preacher, pilgrim and cross carrying witness of Jesus. 

I was born in 1940, saved at the age of 7, called to preach as an evangelist at 15, ordained as a minister at age 20. I have had a blessed and wonderful life, full of joy and at peace with God and people. “Praise God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit”. 

I have lived my life loving the people of the world sharing the message of Jesus, the cross and salvation. I’ve carried a 12 foot cross in 324 countries (in every sovereign nation), major island groups and territories. I have walked with the cross of over 43,340 miles, over 86 million steps and carried a total weight of over 19 billion pounds on my feet and am listed in the Guinness World Records for the Longest Walk/Pilgrimage. 

I sadly leave behind my adorable, awesome, beautiful, Godly and true follower of Jesus, Denise Irja Blessitt, my wife. Denise is the love of my life! I will be waiting for you my love! I will not be complete until you are in my arms again. Denise is a true reection of Jesus and a lover of all people. She has been with the cross and me in 294 countries and island groups. She is the most loving, fearless, bold witness for Jesus I’ve ever known. 

We traveled together with the cross witnessing for Jesus to the world. I could not have made it without her. She is the president of the Arthur Blessitt Evangelistic Association. Denise is an ordained minster and will continue this ministry of the cross as Jesus leads her. You may donate right now on our website at https://www.blessitt.com/product/donate/ You can also donate to this ministry by mail at the address at the end of this letter. 

I trust that you will stand with her in nancial support and prayers as she and our glorious daughter Sophia do outreach around the world however Jesus leads them. I have prayed over Denise and ordained her as my successor in taking the cross and the message of the cross to the world. Please help Denise and Sophia in this ministry. God bless you. 

I am survived by my seven wonderful children, Gina, Joel, Joy, Joshua, Joseph, Jerusalem and Sophia, twelve grand-children and one greatgrand-daughter and also my lovely sister Virginia. I’ll be waiting for you all. I love you with all my heart. Thanks for helping me and the cross walk and loving me. 

Thank you to all who have loved and helped me and this ministry take the message of Jesus and the cross to the world. Special thanks to the Board of Directors, treasured friends through the years of serving together for the Glory of God. 

Thanks to all of you that I met along the way of my life and crosswalk. For the love, food, drink and welcome from the cities to the jungles and wars and deserts. You welcomed the cross and this walking pilgrim. I leave thinking of you all. True treasures. Great thanks to you who have supported us with your gifts of nances. You have been a vital part of my life and this mission as you covered us with prayer and support. I look forward to meeting untold numbers of people that God has used us to help lead to Jesus and salvation. 

I request that there be no funeral or memorial service for me. The greatest thing you could do would be to go out and lead one more soul to be saved. The second thing would be that you would support this ministry of the cross in sharing the message of Jesus with the world. 

Share Jesus with someone today and lead a lost soul to be saved. In Jesus name! A cross carrying pilgrim follower of Jesus.

Here is my final call for you to receive Jesus as your Savior! 

Everyone knows that death brings us face to face with God. “Should you have died the moment you read this, do you have the assurance that you would be in Heaven?” 

Welcome Jesus now as your Savior, giving your heart to God. He is waiting for you. How? Simple, but life-changing. Call on Him now! 

“Dear God, I believe in you. Have mercy on me a sinner. Lorde Jesus I want to follow you. Cleanse me from my sins and come into my life as my Savior and Lord. As best as I know how I repent of my sins and turn to Jesus. I believe you lived without sin, died on the cross for my sins and arose again on the third day and how now ascended unto the Father. I love you Lord, take control of my life. I put all my faith in Jesus to save me. I forgive everyone and ask you to ll me with Your love for all people and lead me to care for the needs of others. Make my home in heave and write my name in Your book in heaven. I accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and desire to be a true believer in and follower of Jesus. Thank you God for hearing my prayer. In Jesus name I pray”.

Praise God. We rejoice with you as you have received Jesus into your heart and life. You are in the Family of God and your name written in the Book of Life. Now share what has happened to you with others… now! Study the Holy Bible, the Word of God, be baptized and get in fellowship with other followers of Jesus. God bless you. 

Arthur Blessitt, Luke 18:1
