I'll never forget receiving my first bicycle when I was eight years old. It was all blue and shiny, and looked like it would fly like the wind. It wasn't long before I made the rounds of the neighborhood making sure all my friends got to see my new bicycle.
Give a
native pastor in India
a bicycle, and know with certainty that thousands of miles away your gift will
be used every day to reach a lost soul with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It will be used to travel great distances to teach new
believers precious truths from the Bible, or minister to Christians suffering
physical pain or political persecution. In many cases, when dozens of miles
must be covered, bicycles help to increase those blessings as more people are
reached.
A
bicycle can mean many things to different people. In the rural areas of India where owning a car is an impossible dream and public
transport is infrequent, expensive or nonexistent, pastors can spend an
entire day on foot to reach just one person in need. Carrying Bibles, Christian
literature, food and water for the journey weighs them down, tires them out,
and further limits their outreach for the Lord.
Having
a bicycle changes that. Not only do pastors reach their destinations more
quickly, but bicycles can be taken almost anywhere. They can maneuver along
narrow dirt paths, be carried over rope bridges or through rushing streams. With a
bicycle time is saved and many more people can be reached who have not
yet heard the gospel. And most helpful to a gospel worker is being able to
carry valuable ministry tools that enable him to share Christ more effectively.
These pastors are grateful for the bicycles which—through your
generosity—AIM provided to enable them to more easily travel to conduct church
services and other programs.
Yes, a bicycle means a great deal to a native pastor, one of the greatest aids to his work that he will ever receive. Your gift of
$125 for a bicycle will result in more souls saved and more believers growing
to maturity in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
