“If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.” President Ronald Reagan
Mission:M25 serving those who have served us on Run For The Wall and Rolling Thunder Parade on Memorial Day weekend in Washington D.C.
- Seventeen evangelists serving as Chaplains, Riders, and Hydration Team workers traveled from Los Angeles, CA to Washington D.C. over a ten day period. Team members from Texas, California, Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee, endured the grueling ride on a motorcycle in a pack that varied from 300 – 450 riders. Then the weather – hot, wet and even hail stones (bruised and flesh torn open happened). Their extreme passion was displayed considering they slept on the ground; received no offerings and lost pay checks only having M25 pay for fuel, few meals and campsites.
- Professional handling of approximately 12,000 bottles of water and sport drinks spoke to the veterans.
- Churches holding banners on overpasses along interstates made a huge impact.
- Churches from the North Carolina and Redemption Ministries Conferences provided the staff and the free food at two campsites in the D.C. area.
- Given the mandate of being a light, not a mouth – learning to serve brought many opportunities to minister – so many stories – One of our team members prayed with a woman who had been raped while serving in the military and was released from active duty when she tried to get help.
The key to all of this was to say “THANK YOU FOR SERVING” for the churches in the USA that enjoy the Freedom of Religion. Every time they came to get water, sport drinks or snacks they were met with the banner that stated our appreciation. We thank all the churches and conferences that assisted us this year!
