Update on Jon

Thank you all for your prayers on behalf of the cyclists, and specifically for Jon Barker. Jon is currently recovering from surgery this morning, and the doctors expect him to being a small amount of physical therapy very soon. The surgery went well and he is now resting at the hospital with his family.

Thank you again, and we will post updates soon about the team's arrival in Orlando.

God bless.

-Dustin

Couriers: Delivering a message of Bible translation need.

Today, in Africa alone, approximately 800 language groups remain in need of Bible translation. A group of cyclists from Wycliffe Bible Translators is doing something about it!

Between May 9th and May 14th, 2009, the group will pedal from JAARS (a Wycliffe partner organization) in Waxhaw, North Carolina, to the Wycliffe USA office in Orlando, Florida, carrying a message of Bible translation need. Through the ride, the cyclists hope to raise the funds needed to help 45 Christians in the Democratic Republic of Congo receive Bible translation training at a university level so that they can translate the Bible for their own languages groups.

Along the way, the cyclists will stop at churches to talk about the worldwide need for Bible translation and offer ways to get involved through prayer, financial partnership and service opportunities.

You can read about their experience here on the blog. Be sure to read more about the worldwide need for Bible translation at the Wycliffe homepage, and explore ways you can become part of the solution through prayer, financial partnership and service.
