A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12b
Excited...Thrilled...Expectant... These words do not begin to capture the way I feel as I think about the launch of Team Cycle-Breaker!
What started as a cycling team has turned into a movement - a movement of individuals, groups, businesses and, yes, cyclists too - all dedicated to answering God’s call to care for orphans and widows. If you or your business provide “champion” funds for the startup of a new Ministry CarePoint, then you are on the team. If you faithfully sponsor one of our precious children that attends a Ministry CarePoint, then you are on the team. If you take part in one of our local, coast-to-coast, or African (more on that later) Ride for Hope cycling events, then you are on the team. In essence, if you support the work of Christ’s Hope International in helping AIDS affected children break the cycle of AIDS and poverty, then you are on the team! And who doesn’t want to be on the team?
In less than two weeks, I will be heading to Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya to visit our ministry locations and staff teams. We’ll be talking about the amazing work that they are doing there on the ground to care for children whose lives have been devastated by HIV and AIDS. We’ll be talking about the difficulties and struggles they face on a daily basis. We’ll be doing training. But we’ll also be talking about our next major Ride for Hope event - the Ride for Hope Africa!
Ride for Hope Africa 2017
600 Miles. 3 Countries. 1 Hope.
Summer of 2017 will see the first ever Ride for Hope Africa! It will be an amazing ride around Lake Victoria to see first hand the work of Christ’s Hope International at our Ministry CarePoints in Kampala (Uganda), Kisumu (Kenya) and Mwanza (Tanzania). We’ll see the need up close and meet some pretty amazing people. We’ll also work to enlist a number of local businesses and churches in our efforts long term. Of course, we’ll take some time to experience the incredible sights, sounds and beauty of one of the most incredible places on earth. Team Cycle-Breaker in action!
Stay tuned to this blog and the Christ’s Hope International Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/Christshopeinternational ) for more as we sort out all the details of the ride.
