Barb Wooler, who, with Judi Orme, completed a 40-day bicycle ride across the U.S. to benefit the Hand in Hand Schools in Central African Republic, has released a video overview of the coast-to-coast ride. (See below.) The two dipped their rear tires in the Pacific Ocean at Anacortes, Wash., on July 20. On August 30, they dipped the front wheels in the Atlantic Ocean at Belmar Beach, N.J.
Some of the results:
PRAYER SUPPORT: 293 folks signed up for the 40-Day Ride Prayer Challenge
FINANCIAL SUPPORT: $87,000 came in over the course of the ride
INTEREST: 306 attended Hand-in-Hand Parties along the way
SOCIAL MEDIA: too many likes and new followers to count!
“The ride was by all measurements a complete success. Thank you to all who prayed, followed, gave, and hosted/attended our parties along the way!” Barb writes. She notes that as a new school year is launched on October 5 in the Central African Republic, they are stronger as a ministry, with a lot of new friends.
