World Relief Race for Congo and Cookbooks

We still have cookbooks available for purchase. Since we are pretty much done with our adoption expenses, we want to give all the money away that we raise from selling the rest of them.

This month (until july 31st), we are giving all the donations to World Relief - Race for Congo. The following is from their website.

"The 1st annual Race For Congo is a race across the country and against the clock to help end the urgent crisis in Congo. With conflict tearing families apart, insecurity threatening the innocence of women and hunger stunting the growth of a generation, the people in Congo are praying for peace to come now.

Joining them in their cry, 8 Race for Congo riders will pedal in relay around the clock August 1 - August 7, crossing 2,776 miles in 7 days, enduring grueling hours and pain-filled nights to raise $2 per mile. To help reach the team goal of $43,000, we need your help. Join us and sponsor a mile, or ten miles, or a thousand miles–every dollar you give will be matched by a generous donor, instantly increasing opportunities to build peace in Congo"

Three of the guys racing are from our church. Click the link above to learn more about the peace building efforts in Congo and the race. They have a program in place to help build peace and to train pastors and others.

We are asking for a donation of $10 per book but feel free to donate more and we will make sure 100% of the donation gets to World Relief in support of the race for Congo.
