Bike Project Update

Betsy MaddenEvent Updates, Local Outreach, Missions, NewsSeptember 17, 2013 Leave a comment0

On Sunday, September 15, RBC accepted bike donations to benefit an orphanage in Nicaragua. Through our SACS Thrift Store partnership, we are working with Verbo Ministries, a church-planting and disciple-making ministry working with the Casa Bernabe Orphanage. Verbo has partnered wtih the orphanage to develop a thriving bicycle shop, where orphans are discipled as they learn bike repair, sales and customer service. Nicaragua is the second poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, where 60 percent are underemployed or unemployed. The training they recieve in the bike shop serves the orphans well when they enter the job market.

We are thankful to God for the generosity of so many here at RBC. On Sunday, we collected 175 bikes!

Here is part of an email we received from one of the project coordinators:

We’ve been collecting for several years from a bunch of churches.  I think the most we ever got from a church collection was 58.  Talk about shattering a record.  You nearly tripled it!

I met some really great people today.  What a blessing.  We are very, very grateful.  And, the quality of the bikes was excellent.  This is a huge help to the ministry.  Thank you for the remarkable work you did to make this happen.

Please extend our sincerest gratitude.  This will make a difference in Nicaragua.

Thank you to all who donated bikes. Please keep the Casa Bernabe orphanage and those who minister the gospel there in your prayers.
