Bicycles for India missions
What we in America would consider a recreational functionality of owning a bike to get a bit of exercise is some- thing entirely different in a country Like India. When I first met Ubeda Limma on his Facebook page he was ask- ing for donations to purchase a bicycle for himself as well as his 28 co-preachers so they could travel to neighbor- ing villages and share the gospel to people they could not reach by foot. To this day he has not had one donor step forward. I am praying that all changes as of now. For the price of $200.00 US dollars Ubeda can purchase a bike, helmet, pump, lock and chain, and a tool kit for repairs in his home town. I am seeking a quote for a two seater bike that would be used for Sundays when the married men could take their wives to church on it. Quotes will be coming soon. Please designate such a donation using the term "bike" along with your donation. As we reach the $200.00 threshold the purchase will be made and the recipient determined by Ubeda. These 28 co-preachers live over about a 300 mile radius and exactly how the bikes will get to their destinations is as yet undetermined. We are expecting that some donations may have to go into the cost of distribution expenses. When Jesus gave the great commission to "go into all the nations" He did not specify the "how." I am sure that command would have includ- ed bicycles. By contributing to this need you will be directly helping in fulfilling the first part of the great comm- ission. Maranatha.
