Ride for the Dominican 2023

 

Hey Friends and Family,

It is that time of year once again. This year we are taking on the state of Arkansas! We will start in Wickliffe, Kentucky, head south for some miles into Tennessee, cross over into Missouri and trek all the way through Arkansas until we hit the state of Louisiana along the Mississippi River! It is certain to be an adventure. This trip will be around 500 miles. We start pedaling on October 2nd.

More than the trip is the friends we get the opportunity to support in Santiago, Dominican Republic. We are once again pairing up with our brother Pedro Juan Gonzalez and many others from the area to support a theological training center. More details on that are going to come but our goal is to launch them into the ministry season with the funds necessary to help with books, students and teachers. We have the opportunity to impact the next generation of the Church in the Dominican Republic. 

Will you join us in this endeavor? 

The math looks like this. 5 riders, 500 miles... $2 a mile = $5,000. That's the goal.
