Ride for Orphans

And they're off!!! Today was incredible!!!! The Wesley Chapel Guatemala Missions Team along with the help of some amazing cyclists pulled off a FABULOUS bike ride to benefit the student ministry missions trip to La Senda orphanage in Guatemala. God totally showed up in a major way...not that I ever doubted that He would!!!! The day was gorgeous and we had a wonderful turn out! 79 riders took part in the ride. There was a 10 mile fun ride, a 25 mile, and a 62 mile course. The majority of the riders did the 62 mile course which is just amazing to me because they finished in less than 3 hours!!! They were FLYING!!! Everyone was so generous and friendly and it was just a super fun time to be with some new friends. Please continue to pray for the missions team as they raise support and prepare to minister to the precious children of Guatemala.

Our precious cheerleaders!!! Aren't they adorable??? Taylor, Clayton, Cody, Tori and Chloe all go to Wesley Chapel. They brought their bikes and rode around the parking lot for a bit then they cheered for each rider as they came back from the course. It was absolutely precious and I know it was a special treat to all the riders!
Meredith, Madison, Morgan and Katie are part of the missions team. They were AWESOME today and we are excited to see how God will use them in the lives of the sweet children at La Senda. Also, you probably can't see what is on their shirts, but it says "Do Justice, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly" The shirts are super cute (and soft) and it is another one of our fundraisers. If you would like to buy one for $12 just let me know!!! Sorry for the fundraising plug, but it is my blog and I can do it if I want to!!!!

Also a SUPER HUGE THANK YOU to Kay Kay and Big G for keeping Ella Kate last night and today while we were busy with the ride!!! Words can not express how much we appreciate y'all keeping her!!! I know she had a super time....she wasn't as happy once I got her home...Big G, did you give her ice cream????
