A testimonial from long-time Outreach For Hope supporter and Bike Ride participant, Randy Sikkema: “And what does God require of me? To do justice, to love kindness and to walk [ride and run] humbly with my God.” (Micah 6:8) Feeling tired lately? Feeling down because of everything going on in 2020? You may think, “I’m tired, I’m low… and you want me to exercise?!” Yes, I do! Research shows exercise improves fatigue and clears the mind. And by registering for the Outreach for Hope Ride/Run/Walk, you can make a difference at the same time. All funds collected through the event are distributed via a grant process to ministry partners including food pantries, programs for youth, medical clinics, job training and educational programs, and much more. These programs are centers of Hope in communities challenged by poverty in Southeastern Wisconsin. Our caring has allowed us to support many different ministries last year, and our hope is to expand to even more in the future. Being focused on helping others gives us direction and purpose. It keeps us on the path that we will ride, walk or run to a better life for so many. We are all in this together, and we must be united to support vibrant, life-changing opportunities in communities struggling from economic inequalities. So please, pray and take time with your congregation to join us in riding, running and walking... with friends old and new, to improve your own health and fitness, at the same time supporting for Outreach for Hope to provide for those in need! |
