Today after 8 years of working with 2-wheeled bicycles we are ending the bicycle division of our ministry. We are narrowing our focus so we can concentrate on our hand-pedaled three-wheelers we affectionately call trikes.
The first pickup today was from World Relief. They picked up the last 6 adult bikes. We have partnered with World Relief since 2006 and have provided over 600 bikes to refugees and immigrants in DuPage County.

Every year students have the privilege of using bikes at camp thanks to His Wheels International.

I learned that this week that a group of about 8 people came from the local disability society all in need of trikes. They only had 2 left and they were both given away. The leader from the local disability group made the decision of who received the trikes. (more…)
Alice has the privilege of speaking about leadership while sharing her own story and how she developed His Wheels International this Thursday to the Christian leaders from Eastern Europe who are here on a six week study program at Wheaton College.
