Refuge Ride Revving Up!

Things have been coming together for the Refuge Ride and we are quite encouraged.  It has been a mad scramble the last few weeks preparing for take off, but ready or not, off we took!

We arrived in Atlanta Wednesday afternoon, July 19th, bringing not only Refuge Rideg gear, but all our equipment for the Switzerland outreach in a few weeks: 4 large cases, 2 small cases and backpacks.  Fortunatly our 2 boxes with big wheel unis which flew cargo were also waiting there for us.  After being picked up at the airport by fellow OM Artists, we hit up Chick-fil-A for lunch.  Apparently our order took a bit longer than normal so the manager surprised us with coupons for a free meal and dessert on a future visit! Gotta love those smiles from God!  

We are so thankful for the huge recent blessings lately:
- kind office workers dropping Dustin's medical bills from when he broke his arm from $2,000 to $250!
- friends donating a GoPro for us to capture adventures down the road.
- friends willing to keep replacement tires, tubes, cranks, spokes and cycling clothes ready to ship out to us at a moments notice if need be.
- friends who work for Delta coming to our house to pick up our big wheel unis in 2 big boxes to drop off as cargo at the airport, covering the $55 shipping fee and saving us $600 in excess and oversized baggage.
- friends making UPS runs for gear returns and taking us to the airport.
- nice Delta workers who are sending us a $250 check for busting a wheel on one of our cases during the flight.
- friends calling from across the miles just to pray with us over the phone.
- friends sending us on our way with inspriational cards and gifts.
