After 8 years of distributing over 1,700 two-wheeled bicycles we are ending that aspect of our ministry so we can focus our undivided attention on our hand-pedaled trikes. The initial bicycle goal Alice set was 100 in her lifetime. We have finished that aspect of the ministry well.

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.

Tonight I, Alice got a knock on her door and there were recognizable faces but I couldn’t remember where I knew them from. Back in 2009 and 2010 this missionary family came by and got about 8 bikes. They loaded them onto a vehicle headed for Mexico. One of their ministries is camp work and one of the program options is bicycling. Every year students have the privilege of using bikes at camp thanks to His Wheels International.

Talked with my friend and missionary nurse Carolyn Adolph on Saturday, July 6, 2013. Carolyn is serving at Soddo Christian Hospital in Ethiopia. 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…)
