Mark and Crew,

May the concert at Greensburg be a celebration of life and God’s grace. He is our provider!

See you soon – we have laid down plans to ride with you out of St. Joeseph, MO for a couple of days. I am anxious to join you and the crew.

Have a great weekend with Kate. Rest, rejoice and replenish.

Steve

Rest well, friend. Every morning when I’m watching the weather report I think of you and check out the area where you’re riding. So far, so good!

Thank you again for what you’re doing for the orphans. You’re amazing!

Hey Mark and Crew
You’re doing a great job and I’m glad you got to take a break. I am glad to hear that you’re doing a concert for the victims of the tornado. Hope I can come see you in Erie.

Mark,
On Saturday we kick off our summer here in Monterrey with our first groups. This summer our theme is Offer. Romans 12:1-2. Thank you for offering your hard, boring, exciting, and fun days to raise money for these great kids. With what you have offered, I’m sure you have see so much more that God has offered you. Praise God (Gracias a Dios)!!!!

Thank you for all you do! Keep it up… we’re praying for you!

Mark
I hope tonites benefit concert was a HUGE success! I am continuing to pray for your protection, rest and God’s rich blessings on you and your team now and always. We love you Mark! KOKD! (((hugs))) to you, Kate and your team from your extended family in Canada.

Mark:

Boy, you have really been on our hearts and in our prayers these last couple of days. We are facing such giants in our own lives right now. We have encountered problems with my shunt (the result of 3 brain surgeries) and my children and I have both had to face the possibility of more illness. It seems as though our battles have been all uphill. Then we things seem really overwhelming, we start talking about you and God uses what you’re doing to remind us that we are witnesses always even in difficult circumstances. We watch the blogs and listen to your updates each morning on our Christian station. We see how tired you are and we know how tired I am and you keep pushing forward. We know that we must too. The kids and I are really looking forward to your stop in Florida. We are going to do everything in our power to be there. Your encouragement means so much to us. You will never really know how many lives you are impacting while on this side of heaven, but I can speak for 3 small lives in Daytona Beach. God loves us where we are. God is so proud of you!!!!
Much Love,
Annie, Cassidy and Justin Elijah!!!!

Hi Mark – yep, there will be days of “just doin’ the ride” – where nothing much happens on the road (sometimes that’s a good thing!). You looked sleepy on your video – but biking does that – and it almost gives you amnesia – you have a hard time remembering where you were or what you did! ha. It takes a second to try and recall…. My brother would get a kick out of my reports from the road when I would call and leave him a message when I was on my cross-country ride – because I would sound so tired and couldn’t remember where I had started or where I was, etc. Funny. But biking, though it’s fun, can be weary on the brain too!

God bless you as you roll through the Heartland and also for doing the concert for the people of Greensburg – I know they will appreciate it very, very much!

Charmaine

May the Great Provider bless your concert tonight. May you bring hope and the love of Jesus Christ to those that are struggling due to hardships. May your light be a beacon to guild those to the Lord.

Enjoy the weekend with Kate. May it be filled with relaxation and love.

Sometimes life is rather uneventful like your ride- it’s ok to be on auto pilot as long as God is leading us

Much love and prayers-

Marilyn

Mark,
Glad you had a good day. You look really tired, but I was glad to hear you say you were in your “tired season”. Sometimes God has to put us there, to refresh and rejuvanate. I love all the seasons God gives us and you are experiencing one that we are blessed to share with you thru these video clips! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride….Love ya brother, Jen

I thought about you guys many times throughout the day yesterday and praying that God was with you as you toured the devestation area and at the concert. I pray that many lives were blessed by your kindness and generousity ( Christ in you). Can’t wait to hear how it went.
Praying for a wonderful w’end for you and Kate.
In Christ,
The Ross’s
P.S. Last night my nephew’s team one the other game and placed higher for states this w’end. We are so proud of them here in Pennsylvania!!:-)

Mark- 50 miles? I mean there are probably 8 or 9 guys over at Butler C.C. who could do that with Ed anchoring the whole thing. Must have been fun to catch up with DJ. I liked seeing the family reunion..GS was smiling for sure. Did DJ give you at least one wrist shake? Right around Great Bend they have a nice road side rest room if I remember right. When you get to Salina Cain will have some PowerBars for you, or if he eats them he’ll ‘getcha back’.
Have a great concert,
Skins

Mark,
Have a great weekend and enjoy your rest. Thank you for all that you are doing and my God continue to strengthen you. Enjoy the rest and then keep it up.
