Pastors on Bamboo Bike Roll Out to Raise Funds for Africa
May 12, 2009
Three West Virginia ministers riding a custom-made bicycle constructed from bamboo will embark tomorrow on a nationwide tour to raise money for hunger relief in Africa, reports The Herald-Mail of Hagerstown, Md.
Lutheran pastors David Twedt, Ron Schlak, and Fred Soltow, Jr. hope to raise $5-million on their “Tour de Revs,” which starts tomorrow morning in Chicago. Their 100-day itinerary includes 65 synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, ending at the denomination’s national assembly in Minneapolis in August.
