And you thought YOU had a tough commute!


Our pastors and evangelists in the Mara District in Tanzania, Africa travel hundreds of miles doing good works and sharing the word of God.  And when funds for bicycles or motor scooters are unavailable, these good christian soldiers literally walk with Christ, travelling the world on foot.  By joining us in the progressive Mara-thon, you can help us raise funds to help our pastors and evangelists buy tools for transport.  Just $170 buys a bicycle.  Think of how much faster and further this important work can go when traveling on two wheels.  Why not start a team today?
