Today His Wheels International received the following email. “Hello. I am an RN and the President of a non profit charity . . . making a big impact in resource limited areas in Africa. In November 2019 our team will travel to northern Ghana to start a project called the ‘Ability Project'” They partner with an ngo there and have been talking about trying to build hand-pedaled tricycles as the need is great and they are very difficult to find. She has acessed the HWI’s blueprints and wondered if we have a trike to send with them. She wrote, “Thank you for what you are doing! L”
 
After talking by phone, we shared our trike coloring book pages and our first hand-pedaled trike children’s story for them to use as they also do disability awareness and literacy

Pakistan Contact

As Evvy Campbell, a Wheaton College Professor Emeriti said, “Development work is accomplished one relationship at a time.” Today Alice had a conversation with a relief worker in Pakistan who was interested in exploring possibilities with His Wheels trike, while working within an Anglican Church structure there. The networking tentacles for this went far and wide. Alice attends a local Anglican church who partners with the same relief organization locally. There was the opportunity to share about NOWPDP, a Muslim organization in Pakistan who ran a trike building contest back in 2016-17(?), which Alice and HWI were part of the International judging board. Then there was Katie, a missionary who we encouraged along the way back in 2007, who built a rugged wheelchair there. I sent this new contact a picture of the trike, which I’m including below. The other networking pieces were our contacts with Universities who bring a variety of discipline expertise that they are willing to share with His Wheels and their students. Pray for God’s hand on his development work through one relationship building opportunity at a time.

Yesterday Alice had a great time interacting with our Messiah College contact. Through the relationship building times we’ve spent, Messiah sent us a contact to a student at Taylor University (TU). We have had a trike at TU for some time, but due to a variety of things student trike projects haven’t taken off. After talking with our Messiah contact, Alice talked with a TU student about a trike project as he explores junior and senior engineering projects. Please pray with us for God to use His Wheels for his glory in his ways and his time.

While at The Compass Church yesterday, Big J, our trike ambassador, who lives with Down’s Syndrome, came up to Alice and said, “Big A (as only he can do!) and with a big grin on his face handed me his colored trike page. I was overcome with joy by such a precious gift from my friend, who has been advocating for His Wheels Trikes since our inception. It was as if I’d been given one of the best Christmas gifts ever.

Thank Big J for sharing your big heart and your coloring skills with me. It will hang on my fridge, protected in plastic.

This coloring sheet is impacted lived around the world already, and yesterday it made a full circle as Big J handed his colored sheet back to me.
