I firmly believe in sowing, it’s a major part of who we are as God’s people. We should always look for places to sow our seed into. Ministries sometimes overlook this. They are great in giving to the community, but you can always link the benefit back to them. My pastor always taught me, give to reap a harvest for your vision and it can’t be a direct link or correlation to your work. I have seen him, many times over, packing up his truck with tools heading off to another pastor’s church to lay tile, build out bathrooms, and other things; all the while, he has no personal connection to the church that he is helping. This has never left my heart, and it has set a great precedence in my life.
This leads me to share with you, there is an incredible ministry, Urban Promise for Honduras, here locally that is mentoring youth of Copan Ruinas and surrounding communities for the Kingdom of God. Within their organization, they have UrbanTrekkers. They continue the vision of UPH through bicycling, hiking, and camping. Their vision is incredible and what they do for the lives of the youth is so impactful. For the past ten years, they have raised up an army of young people that can now dream and see those dreams come true!

Recently, I noticed their bicycles they have received through various donations and they are not in the greatest shape. These bikes are used for long distant biking events such as riding across the country. Also, they ride on some treacherous roads with their mountain bikes. Even though the donated bikes were great at the time; they now, need to be retired. So, we at MorningStar Missions have decided to not only financially help with getting them some bikes but do a major crowdfunding project. Our goal is to raise around $15,000.
For this project, we have connected with Bike World in West Des Moines, IA. Together, we will kick off our event August 20, 2019. Through Bike World, our goal is to purchase around 10 to 15 bicycles, equipment for future maintenance, accessories, clothing, and much more. The remaining funds will be for shipping, import tax, and customs.
We at MorningStar Missions believe that this event will help propel UrbanTrekkers to a great level in their ministry to the youth of Honduras. Today, people are so quick to point fingers at problems, but lacking so much in the solution. Through this event, we are not only suggesting a solution; we are bringing it forth for others to take part in.
Stay tune for the kickoff of the crowdfunding event.
