New York City

We woke up at 4. Left our hosts at 430am. Mark, Lewie, Jon, and Andy all ate a quick breakfast and were on the road to NYC. 55 miles in 5 hours? I think so. The ride was an interesting one, but the Lord provided. There was over 100 turns, and the New Jersey roads...well...not the best to say the least. They went to the George Washington Bridge but found that bicycles were not allowed to cross. After some searching, they found a way across on a bike path and it was incredible! Check out the Facebook Info and Updates page to see the video! Once they made it into New York they met he group at the Bible Society and they went to a Catholic Bible Summit where they spoke to many many people about She's My Sister.

After the summit, the team met back at the Bible Society, but Mark and Lewie got lost and ended up becoming inspired by the city's street music. Again...check out the video. Finally they just took a taxi and met the rest of the group. Then we met up and went to a potluck dinner in Weehocken, NJ. A good time of fellowship was had, and the team got a chance to see the skyline from the most beautiful point across the Hudson. We entertained ourselves for at least an hour playing "I Spy" and asking "what if" questions.

Then Emily drove us all back into NYC, except for those staying with Matt, one of our hosts from the Bibles Society. Gordon navigated like a champ and then Jon, Lewie, and Gordon wandered off into Central Park before going back to Harlem. Yea..that's right. Harlem.

Tomorrow we have 4 presentations, so we really want to be used by the Lord to make New York aware of our sisters in the COngo. Keep praying for us please, and for our sisters in the Congo. We all need it.
