Around Africa On My Bicycle

Yesterday I managed a 40 minute cycle and nearly died. Today there is still a little pain in the netherlands.

It would be great to just stick to it everyday and save myself a lot of frustration and becoming unfit and generally unpleasant.

I still have this lingering dream to cycle around Africa or some epic journey on a bicycle. I should probably read this:

I also have a dream to give each person in Africa a free Bible with my ministry 'Bibles For Africa.'

Perhaps these two can be combined?

Guess who's back?

Okay, I realise this is long overdue....

I have no excuses.

But the reason I am back in blogworld is because I watched the awesome 'Julie and Julia' - or is it the other way round? It is based on a blog and two books.

In fact, it is the very first movie to be based on a blog.

So, I thought, maybe there's something to this and I will try to be a regular blogger from this day onwards.

I will keep track of my cycling and this way the world out there can watch me either develop or atrophy into nothingness.

Also, I want to keep all my readers informed about my ministry 'Bibles For Africa' which seeks to provide a free Bible to every person on this continent.

I'm sure other things will come up along the way, but this is a way to start with a 'goal' in mind (just like the movie).

Mustard Seed: Free Bible Distribution

Here's a fuller article I wrote on free Bible Distribution.

Free Bible Distribution

Cross-cultural ministry is at your doorstep.

Everyone in this world is in direct contact with someone who has a different cultural background from them and can do much about this.

I come from South Africa where we have 11 (that's right, 11) official languages and people who don't adapt to this multiracial situation drown. Here you cannot hold onto your own culture too stringently, which is an excellent way to smooth relations.

One way to reach out to others is free Bible Distribution.

1 - Never assume someone has a Bible in their own language or that they can afford one.
2 - Go out of your way to find out exactly which one they want and then you go and buy it for them. You will change the world more than anything.
3 - After you see the joy on their face at this random act of kindness, give them a list for 12 people they know to fill in for free Bibles in their own languages that you will supply as well.
4 - Make sure to get all their personal information and create a database.
5 - Once you have bought the 12 Bibles with your own money and given it to your distributor, give your distributor a study Bible or some kind of expensive Bible in their own language and you will have changed the world.
6 - Start again at 1 or carry on from 3.
