Friends! 

its that time of year again where I ride a bike!  

i wish i was joking but the last time i road a bike, it was last year this time and my best bud Pife was staring at the back of my shirt on a tandem cycle for 150 miles!

This year i'm riding 62 miles for our beloved friends in Haiti and their awesome projects.   So i'm setting a goal $620 - thats 10 bucks a mile , please consider sponsoring a mile or two.   Please check out www.espwa.com for more details on our projects for Farming, Medicine, and Education. 

Haiti has changed my life, brought me closer to an authentic walk with the Lord, and has given me more funny stories than i can even remember.

please consider donating and i will promise to take you 'logging' on the farm,  or i'll make you some awesome coffee,  

but i'd greatly appreciate your donation to this wonderful adventure 

with love

Espwa’s Ride the GAP is a fundraising adventure bike ride on the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP). While the ride normally spans three days and 150 miles from Cumberland, MD to Pittsburgh, PA, this year's ride is compressed to 1 day due to COVID. Riders of all skill levels are welcome on this fully supported ride. Funds raised from this charity bike ride will be used to support the projects of the Espwa Foundation. 

The Espwa Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to impacting those in poverty in the Cap Haitien, Haiti region.  "Espwa" is the Haitian Creole word for "hope."  We believe it's all about relationships and that through long-term development, we can truly help our brothers and sisters in Haiti.  We don't just throw money at problems, or give handouts when they are not the appropriate type of intervention.  We assess situations, get to know those involved, and come up with strategies to achieve personal and professional growth.  In our project portfolio, we engage in medical relief by partnering with local physicians, and undertake development efforts across the spectrum: family support, farming, small business, pastoral support, and more.  Join our movement of hope in Haiti today!
