Final steps of the James Strickland Story.

The final steps of James Strickland's epic 2500 mile journey of faith, to be reunited with his family.

Walking from Longview, Texas to Aberdeen, Washington, James' inspirational journey was completed when he was reunited with his children and their mother on October 6th 2009, at the Grays Harbor Seventh Day Adventist church, in Aberdeen, Washington.

While the children do crafts in the dining hall of the church, James Strickland, Joy Heard (the children's mother), and family members enjoyed a special guest speaker, Pastor Lyle Albrecht, in the sanctuary.

Upon the close of the service, James, Joy, and family walked the last few steps down the corridor to finally complete his journey, and to witness the long awaited family reunion.

This video shows the last few steps taken on a journey that has stretched over many months, 5 states, including Texas,
Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Washington, and nearly 2500 miles.

Welcome Home James!
