Ride for the Bibles

On Sat, September 25, 2010,  25 bikers and members from South Carrollton Church met for the first annual "Ride for the Bibles". All the money raised will buy bibles for our mission trip to Costa Rica where the majority of them will be placed in the schools. Bro Ron Droke, missionary in Tamarindo, Costa Rica ( home town Savannah ,Tenn) has asked to teach the Bible in the schools and permission was granted. Praise God !!!

 I am so excited at what God is doing in our lifes ! Our passion and burden is to see bibles put into the hands of precious people who long for a copy. To share the Gospel so they in turn can also share it with others.
I can not put into words the feeling inside when you place a bible in someones hand and they go to their knees crying and thank Jesus for it.

We would like to thank everyone who made the "Ride for the Bibles" possible. To the bikers who returned their prizes only to be auctioned off a second time. Thank-you sweet friends. You raised $840.00 and have touched so many. Also, we would like to thank South Carrollton's youth, they raised over $300.00 during VBS for bibles going to an elementary school !!

Marvin and I can not wait for the second annual "Ride for the Bibles"  to see what God has already got planned for next year !  We are also taking new and used bibles in English and Spanish, for here in the states. We have been in contact with a local pastor that does mission work at Indian reservations in Montana. The need for bibles is great.
If you are interetsed in helping with bibles e-mail us at tmefford78@yahoo.com

God put us smack in the middle of a Biker Magazine ...who would have ever thunk it ?
                                                             HE DID !!
