After a few really long days of riding, we are 3 cities ahead of schedule. It’s time for a couple days rest. I am going to go about 60 miles on Wednesday, from Kinsley, KS (midway USA) to Great Bend. On Thursday, we will be touring Greensburg, KS, a small town that was demolished by a recent tornado. I will also be doing a benefit show that night at 7:00 p.m. The band will be joining me that night, and all the proceeds will be going to benefit the town of Greensburg. On Friday, my band and I are flying to Joplin, MO for a James Fund benefit concert. Then, I am flying home on Saturday, to take a few days off with Kate. We will be starting our second half of the bike tour on Monday, June 4th, in Great Bend, KS, and finishing a month later in Portsmouth, NH.

Hi Mark and crew! I had a chance to catch up on the last few days. Man I am so impressed, 170 miles and then 130 the next day. Not many can say they have ridden 170 miles in one day, myself included. I am glad I hooked up with you on day 5 and not the 170 mile day. I would have been looking for the tow line
You are doing awesome and more importantly an awesome thing. May God keep you safe and bless you throughout your travels. Keep up the great work and enjoy the rest days, you’ve earned them.
Just catching up with you and ther crew. What a powerful way to hit the mid-point of the ride. Very strong!
I was praying on you this weekend and it it came to me (by the Holy Spirit I am sure) this thought and challenge to me and many others.
Many men talk about doing great things…
Some men even dare to do great things…
It is just a few men that get going and do great things…
You are among the few - and setting an example for the many and the some. Your heart and Godly charater are a continued inspiration. The work you are doing will transform lives for today and eterninty.
Rest well and return stronger.
Love, Steve
You have an incredible heart helping the victims of the recent tornado!
It is so fun to watch His plans unfold through you!
I see God molding you in to such an incredible Man of God
Psalms 104:31
May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works
I know the Lord is rejoicing in you Mark!
Thank you God for Mark!!!

Being from Greensburg, INDIANA our small town has been involved in helping the victims of our sister city in Kansas. I was so excited to hear that you were going to be able to go do a benifit concert to help them out. I’m praying for a HUGE outpouring of the Holy Spirit & continued generosity of the people in the surrounding communities who have already done so much for the victims. THANK YOU, Mark , crew & band for caring and for taking the time to GO as Jesus tells us to! God Bless YOU as YOU do HIS Work!
Enjoy your time off with Kate. I’m sure that just being home & sleeping in your own bed will relax & rejuvenate you, not to mention spending time with your beautiful wife.
Keep on keepin’ on!
Blessings & Prayers to you & the crew,

Mark - my roommate, Melinda, is from Kansas - she lived in Liberal, Kansas, and in Dodge City - two towns you rode through.
I see you’re going to do a concert in Greensburg, Kansas. She was just out there the other weekend, as she has 2 cousins who live in Greensburg. In fact, her cousin, Ray, is the one who was out the night of that tornado, and saw it, and called to officials in town to sound the alarm - so he’s definitely a hero in helping to save so many lives! That’s great you’re doing the concert there and that the proceeds will go to the town! They certainly can use it! Thank you for doing that and helping them. I will let Melinda know! God bless!

Mark,
How generous of you to visit Greensburg Kansas and do a benefit concert for them. That is wonderful!
Relax and enjoy your time at home with Kate!
God bless you, Kate, your crew and everyone close to you!

Hey Mark and crew,
Sorry we haven’t been online for a few days, family stuff going on all w’end. You were still in our prayers and thoughts as we were sharing what you’re doing with our family during our time with them. They all send their love and support!!:-)
We will also pray for the concert in Greensburg. To be able to share your gift and help others is truely Christ in You. Many will and do see that in you’re ministry. I know that the Lord will be glorified through all of the tragedy that has happened. Im glad that your able to help them while you on this tour.
Please take care of yourself and have an awesome time off with your wife. Its great that your going to be able to go home.
We thank God for his continuous protection, mercy and grace that he has given you during these times.
Have a blessed week!!!
In Christ-your friends,
The Ross’s
By the way, thought you’d be interested in this. My nephews high school baseball team last night won districts and they go to states this w’end. This is the first time the school ( Solanco)ever went that far and its Dan’s senior year! These guys have played ball together since t-ball. How cool is that? We are all so happy for them!! If you think of it, you could pray for us all as we are there!!
Thanks, See my website for the updates.
