What a Ride!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Ride for Refugees on Oct 13th. It was a great day. No rain. Over a 100 riders in Hamilton. And thousands of dollars raised for refugee ministries here in Hamilton and around the globe. The final tally has not been made yet- but between the 3 sites (Waterloo, Brantford and Hamilton) we are over $225,000.

A big THANKS to Philpott Church for being the official hosts. They  did an amazing job.

The plan is to do it again next year. So we hope we will see even more Hamilton area churches on their bikes riding on behalf of the 30 million displaced people in our world.
