Well, everyone, today was a big day for the team. Andy Clack, who has been riding with us for the past week has qualified as an official team member! Check out his bio to find out more...
Today was a long day. Only supposed to be 87 miles, it ended up being almost 100 because of a few wrong turns here and there. But hey, we could use the extra miles. The sweeps (Jon and Jenna(the two riders designated to ride behind the group and make sure everyone makes it)) got lost and somehow ended up in front of everyone. We still are not quite sure how that was possible, but it happened and we are at peace.
During lunch today we studied the Least of These and the topic was Victims. We took that time to pray for people all around the world who were suffering or grieving as a result of injustice.
The beginning of our day started with a ferry ride. It was really nice to start the day on the water. Lewie decided that he wants to live at sea for a while. Does anyone have connections with a cargo ship that might be looking for laborers?
Once we arrived at the church in Jacksonville, NC, we went out to the Golden Corral with the Pastor and his wife, as well as the worship pastor and his wife. A nice time of fellowship and eating was had by all.
Tomorrow we ride to Beaufort and spend the day at Gordon's beach house. We have some hefty days of riding ahead of us so some rest would be wise. Keep praying for our sisters in the Congo, and especially for Consolatta that she might walk again! Goodnight!

Praying for you! It's been so exciting to see/hear from you as you travel. AND to raise the awareness!! May God continue to be glorified.
ReplyDeleteLewie would decide he's gonna live at sea for a while. I challenge him to make that happen in Antarctica. Also...I was wondering if you guys had a list of women/children's names from the Congo that we could be praying over. I only know of Consolatta so far...
ReplyDeleteAmy there are a lot of women to be praying for. Some specifically are Hakiriza Zenabuh, Serubungu, Tusabe Margaret, and Justine. These are Congolese women I met in the refugee camp in Uganda.
