CanIL has a big biking event every summer to raise funds for Bible translation. This year, I have decided to participate. I love to bike and I want to take advantage of this opportunity to “pay it forward,” since I have benefited personally from so many scholarships.
In a couple of hours I will be doing a 50K pre-ride, that is to practice for the main event, the Training Ride 100K. (There is also a 37K option- I am doing the 100K).
Please pray for our safety as we train, and then as we do the actual event. Please also pray that the riders would be able to connect with others and share about the need with BIble translation with them. That they would also be willing to contribute towards the fundraiser!
Please also pray for good health and clean weather. Forest fires have the sky blanketed in smoke, allowing us to stare straight at the Sun on some days, and occasionally seeing bits of ash accumulate on outside surfaces- not ideal biking weather!
Here is the link to the webpage about the ride:

The big event is Saturday July 25th, starting at 6AM.
Thank you so much, and God bless you!
