Piperjames (James McGowan) turned 50 today as he celebrated another landmark on his 1 500 km solo, Mighty Men trek from Cape Town to Mooi River in KwaZulu-Natal.
“I am on the border of Lesotho, staying here for the weekend,” he says in a message to Gateway News readers.
“Today I am 50 years young,” he says in his message in which he thanks all who have supported him on his long walk to the Mighty Men Conference – KZN which runs from October 21 to 23. Along the way he has promoted Mighty Men Conferences, collecting pledges of commitment in the form of signatures on a wooden cross.

According to piperjames’ wife, Ina, piperjames had prayed that he would be able to make a difference to just one person’s life through his long walk.
“So it is an extra bonus and a wonderful birThtday gift that hundreds have made a pledge to turn around for Jesus,” she says.
Piperjames concludes his birthday message with the following words: “The trip thus far has been nothing short of amazing and has strengthened me as a Christian too, with all kinds of testimonies and experiences. Far too many to type about herein but will be conveyed once back at home with my best mate Ina.
