... I have a huge passion to make a difference in other people’s lives. After hearing from my Dad about a children’s home in Rajnandgoan, India that was in need of a new vehicle for transportation, I began to wonder how I could help to meet their need. They currently have an old 1961 Willy’s jeep that is breaking down almost every day. Repairs are costly and time consuming. The children need the van to safely travel to school every day.
While praying for an answer, God immediately gave me an idea. God told me, “get on your bike and ride somewhere far and raise the money for these kids in India”. The school vehicle/van will cost $16,000 US dollars.
Together with my Dad, I am organizing a bike ride to make a difference—Ride Across Michigan--RAM. On JULY 21, I will be leaving Holland along with three other riders peddling 400 miles to Mackinaw City. This journey will test us physically and spiritually as we ride to raise the money. This will be a great time for devotions and sharing about my personal Jesus and His love for others. World Hope International—Hope for Children--- World Hope International will be partnering with me to manage the money and purchase the van for the orphanage.
Would you join me in PRAYER because without it our goal is impossible? You can commit to praying for our whole riding team as we raise the funds and ride. This crazy idea I have was born of God and only He can imagine what can really happen with your PRAYER support. Please mark your calendars for JULY 21 – 26 and PRAY for our safety.
I'm really proud to say I am related to you, Bear. Great job putting this together. God bless and stay safe.
