Cutie is Off to Another University

Cutie is the nickname we’ve given our compact trike. Today Kevin, Alice and Cutie went for a meeting at Olivet Nazarene University (ONU) in Bourbannais, IL. We met with two Mechanical Engineering Faculty members about having 3 senior engineering students use the trike for a senior project.The idea is to look at neuro-engineering and how a quadriplegic could maneuver a trike by EEG brain wave activities.

We dropped Cutie off and here is Cutie’s new home and new roommates

It’s possible that Cutie will outsmart any of us at HWI before the year is over if the trike hangs out with this team. We are excited to see the road Cutie takes at ONU. Kevin and Alice will return the 2nd week of September to meet with students and to answer any questions they might have at the time.

God is up to something and we at HWI are along for the ride.

For years we at HWI have been praying, planning, and plodding about how to get our trike seen by someone at Willow Creek. We’ve known that Willow Creek has directors in different parts of the world but even though some of our board goes there, we’ve never found our way to the right people.

 

Today Alice received an email. In it Alice learned that some people from the Dominican Republic were at the Willow Creek Leadership conference last week. (more…)

Today was the final day of our two-wheeled bike ministry. Now we will turn our undivided attention towards our hand-pedaled three-wheeled trike program.

We passed all our inventory on to Working Bikes in Chicago who we have partnered with some over the past few years. They would pick up beyond what we could repair. (more…)

A Farmer’s Creativity

As I, Alice, was enjoying some luscious and juicy fresh Michigan sweet corn I was reminded of how a Pennsylvania Farmer’s creativity impacted His Wheels last summer. This farmer grew sweet corn and made it available for those in his church. You could take as much as you needed. The payment he asked was that each person donate the amount of money they felt was reasonable for the corn to another organization. I don’t know if it was limited to organizations but I do know that HWI was the organization one person chose to make the beneficiary of this farmer’s creative generosity.
