Trike Promo

"Larissa from Discovery Channel (Canada) enjoys a HWI trike ride at ITEC." I never know what I'll find in my email inbox. How fun is this? Now let's pray that this visibility will open other media doors for HWI.

Prayer of Praise

This morning as HWI's team stopped to pray, Everette prayed, "Thank you Lord that as I went into College Church one morning this week, (where ESL classes through World Relief are held for the refugees) six out of the seven bicycles in the rack had HWI stickers on them." My eyes filled with tears as my heart echoed in praise with Everette's prayer. What a privilege to know we are making the lives of these refugees a little easier by providing them transportation so they can get to English classes.

First Bike

“Oh, puple is my favorite color,” Adeline said, as she received her first bike from HWI.

She was so excited. Adeline is a Billy Graham Scholar doing her Master’s at Wheaton College. She is from Uganda. She works with Uganda Studies Program through Uganda Christian University. Adeline works with study-abroad students from Christian colleges and universities in North America who go to Uganda for a semester of cross-cultural experience. Adeline writes, “A month ago, tired of needing other people to take me shopping, I decided to walk to The Village Marketplace for milk. It took me 25 minutes to get there, another 25 to get back. It was a good workout, but not the best way to get milk for late afternoon tea.

Then over fall break I got the opportunity to go to the Honey Rock Camp in Wisconsin. I saw all the bikes they had for mountain biking and decided I was going to ride one before going back to campus. With patient help from one of the leaders at the camp, I finally managed to keep myself on a bike as I wobbled around a grassy field, then ventured out on dirt roads in the woods. It was exhilarating! When I received my own bike two weeks later from His Wheels International, I got hooked. Yesterday I rode up to the Marketplace. Six minutes!"

Thanks Adeline for the ministry you do in Uganda, helping internationals to make a smooth transition and adjustment to their new and foreign culture. We at HWI are glad to have the opportunity to reciprocate, making your life a little easier while you are studying here in America. Afternoon tea is vital to keep the brain alert for studies.

No stopping Adeline now, she is off for afternoon tea
