Nearly 3/4 of the Way to Our School Support Goal

This handmade sign welcomed our team back to Nairobi on Friday afternoon.
We pleased to share that more than $10,000 has been received for the new ICCM high school since we began our journey in Kenya. Added to the nearly $20,000 that had been committed to support our Bike Kenya 2012 team per mile before we boarded planes for this international fundraising cycling adventure, we are nearly 3/4 of the way to our goal of raising $40,000.  Thank you!

Having visited the site that is proposed for the new school, having listened to Kenyan leaders and educators describe their vision and plans for it, and having understood the pressing need for it in the lives of young people who are being educated through the seven ICCM primary schools here, we are convinced this project is a cause worthy of your investment.

A few days ago, Becca Lamp, one of our team members, shared an insight and observation about the school what she had while we rode through a driving rain. She likened every raindrop falling as a blessing that will be received as a result of this school and every raindrop hitting the pavement and spreading as the multiple impacts in the lives and leadership through it. Wow! May it be so.

If you have not yet invested in this effort, please do so or share the need and opportunity with your friends, associates and faith communities.  We really want to leave the gift of a full investment with our Kenyan friends when we leave their beautiful country in about 36 hours from now.

Again...thank you for your support and prayers and investment!
