Finished the 2-wheeled ministry well

Today after 8 years of working with 2-wheeled  bicycles we are ending the bicycle division of our ministry. We are narrowing our focus so we can concentrate on our hand-pedaled three-wheelers we affectionately call trikes.

The first pickup today was from World Relief. They picked up the last 6 adult bikes. We have partnered with World Relief since 2006 and have provided over 600 bikes to refugees and immigrants in DuPage County.

Photo Shoot June 26, 2013

Resurrection University/West Suburban Hospital is featuring a story on Alice Teisan in their August 2013’s award winning Reflections jounral. Alice graduated from West Suburban School of Nursing in 1984.

Along with the article Resurrection U sent out Allen Bourgeois to do a photo shoot. Thanks to Allen and Resurrection U’s generosity we have been given permission to feature the pictures on our site.

Passing on the Wrench!

Look who stopped to visit us at HWI! It is Grant, our former bike director, his wife Katie, and young Will. Grant’s dad owned 2 bicycle stores while Grant was growing up. So we are passing on the wrench to the next generation. Thanks Will for bringing your mom and dad by to see us again.

As we think of recapturing our dream I want to begin by asking some questions:

• Are the Road Signs in your life pointing towards your Dream Destination right now?

• What is a dream destination you have/had at one time envisioned for yourself?

• What Roadblocks, dead end signs, impasses, or alternate route bypasses have put a death to your dream or caused you to lose your way?
