“PRAY vigorously for our missionaries. They will be told countless lies in the months leading up to the ride and countless more during it. We are told, ‘For the Spirt God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.’ (2 Timothy 1:7) The storm is ahead my friends, but, with your help, our missionaries will meet it with joy. And they will not listen to the whispers of the wind. They know, fear, he is a liar.” Kevin Biese

Hauling the laundry to the laundry room again? For the babies. Convincing the almost-two-year-old to eat that dinner I worked hard on (to no avail)? For the babies.”
We are excited to share with you the success of our 2015 ride and the changes Biking For Babies is making for 2016. As always, thank you for your prayers, generosity and self-sacrificial love. In this Year of Mercy, may we learn to love more and continue to give as He did and continues to do.
