Race for Congo was detoured off of Hwy 20 in Iowa by a State Trooper. They have an alternate route but now are behind by 2 hours. Today they will cycle out of Iowa, through Illinois and into Indiana.
Mike's wife, Kara Moran, is driving down to meet the team in Dixon so she can ride a leg of the race with Mike. No slacking off for Mike on that leg with Kara pushing him from behind!!!
It's thanks to Mike and Kara's leadership that Kettlebrook is involved in the work in Congo. They've helped many of us see beyond ourselves and into a world that God cares for deeply. A world that is hurting and needs us to step into action.
We can easily get overwhelmed with how to help with such enourmous problems. Mike came up with this to help us remember what we can do: PEACE: Pray, Educate, Advocate, Contribute, Experience.
Pray for the people of Eastern Congo and the World Relief staff, pray that God would break our hearts for what breaks His heart
Educate yourself and others about issues in Congo (online at BBC News, Enough project, youtube videos)
Advocate by spreading the word about what you are learning, go to: www.raisehopeforcongo.org to sign a petition for conflict-free minerals to be used in our technology
Contribute to Race for Congo at: www.worldrelief.org/raceforcongo/mikemoran
Experience a local Ride for Congo bike ride on August 20th, hear about Mike's week riding across country
Act for PEACE today!
