Yesterday Alice had a great time interacting with our Messiah College contact. Through the relationship building times we’ve spent, Messiah sent us a contact to a student at Taylor University (TU). We have had a trike at TU for some time, but due to a variety of things student trike projects haven’t taken off. After talking with our Messiah contact, Alice talked with a TU student about a trike project as he explores junior and senior engineering projects. Please pray with us for God to use His Wheels for his glory in his ways and his time.

The wheels are turning in many ways and in many places. Below is an update on some of the exciting things happening around trikes at three different universities and in Niger, West Africa.

Last week Alice had lunch with faculty at Spring Arbor University (SAU)who are part of the University Consortium. We prayed and dreamed together about some of the entrepreneurial and innovative ideas we discussed with faculty from SAU and India. Continue to pray with us as it takes time to implement good ideas.

Here is one very exciting thing that came from His Wheels International’s trip to Taylor University in December. John, a 13 year old friend of HWI, an engineering guru, who lives in Upland and who attended the December meeting was able to audit a January Engineering course at Taylor. Here is a HWI video that John did for us.

It is hard to believe that in May 2014 His Wheels will enter its 10th year of ministry.

The New Year has just begun but already today many exciting new opportunities are beginning to percolate.

1. After our last newsletter one of our readers suggested a possible engineering program nearby that we should look into to see if they were interested in our University Trike Consortium. One thing we’ve never done much of is cold calling. (more…)

Trike to Taylor University Today

Today Kevin, our engineer traveled to Taylor University for a University Trike Consortium introductory meeting. Alice was present via Skype due to health issues. Thanks to Dr. C. Brainer, our host, he set up three meetings for HWI. First there was lunch with 4 engineering professors and 3 Wandering Wheels team members. The engineers stayed about 45 min. longer than planned and had many great brainstorming ideas. Next was the Enactus business club faculty member and then on to meet with the short term mission trip coordinator. What an amazing day. Please pray for God’s direction as the faculty continue to contemplate and pray about possibilities with HWI.
