I started this fundraising campaign as a way to try and acquire donations so I can stay on the road with my ministry Pedal Prayers during 2021. My 28th year of doing ministry by bicycle around the United States will soon be here on March 27, 2021. Since February 19, 1993, I have crossed the United States 17 times, cycled over 286,000 miles (457,600 km), been in every state but Alaska and Hawaii and in three provinces of Canada, helped out after about 62 natural disasters, built and rehabbed homes with the Fuller Center for Housing and Habitat for Humanity, and spoke over 1,600 times at churches .
I feel very strongly that GOD called me out to be his feet and hands on the road as a living example of James 2: 14-26 and Matthew 25: 31-46. This is why I consider myself as being a "Missionary Servant Evangelist" instead of being a regular evangelist. The url to my ministry website is http://www.pedalprayers.org and it has been online since 1998. This is only my fifth year of doing online fundraising.
Mission Trip 77 will start sometime in early 2021 but I decided to set this campaign up early to raise the needed funds. I am still on Mission Trip 76. So far, I have cycled 7,012 miles ( 11,219 km) in twenty-three states (as of January 01, 2021). Currently, I am getting ready to cycle across Southern Florida.
Because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, I haven't had many chances to speak at churches along the way but this hasn't stopped me from giving counseling, food assistance, and prayer support to the people who I meet along with being a silent witness to the thousands of motorists who are on the same highways with me through the signage at the back of "Allison" (my short-wheelbase touring recumbent) and also the messages on my cycling jerseys. I will update this campaign as often as I can by updating this message. God Bless all the donors to this campaign.
Thank you in advance.
In HIS Draft and Service,
Rev Hans (the Cycling Rev)
