For the week of May 5

SEA TO SEA BIKE TOUR – 8 WEEKS TO GO!
Fund-raising for 219 cyclists is in high gear.  Please offer your prayers and support toward the mission and purpose of this bike tour: raising awareness, involvement and funds to help the poor.

Specific requests: 

"In all these things, O God, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

Many cyclists are engaged in fund-raising at this time; please pray for a blessing on the events, initiatives and creative ideas that the cyclists are using to solicit donations for this worthy cause.

Our Development Manager, Al Vander Hart, is continuing to seek sponsorships from the business community to help underwrite the costs of the tour. Please pray for favor as he makes these visits.

General requests:

Please pray:

• For the right route. Give thanks to God for enabling Ed Witvoet, our operations & logistics manager, to finish charting the exact route across the continent.
• For support crew members. The tour still needs a few volunteers to travel with the tour to ensure a smooth and safe journey. Please pray for people to consider this opportunity and apply.
• For increased awareness. Ask God to bless the efforts to communicate and promote the tour and its goals to churches and individuals so far, and to give creativity to organizers to spread the word further.
• For tour sponsors. Pray that those being contacted as possible corporate sponsors will catch the vision and come on board to help underwrite tour expenses.
• For celebration rally planning. Local committees are busy planning the many Sunday celebration rallies along the route. Pray that all the details will come together so these rallies glorify God, unify His church and motivate all to serve the poor.
• For cyclists. Riding across North America is a major challenge and commitment that needs the support of family, friends and co-workers, and the Spirit's clear discernment. Pray for safety as riders train for the tour.
• For the steering committee. Organizers have a lot to plan with not a lot of time. Pray for wisdom in decision-making and unity within the committee.
• For those living in poverty around the world. May compassion be evident in God's people and may justice prevail in the hearts of those who govern.
