Description
Pastoring a church is no easy job! As a Pastor of a local church with responsibilities supervising up to twenty other smaller churches, mobility in visiting the fellowships is a major task! Villages are often located within 20 - 30 miles of bush land with no connecting roads. Therefore Pastors often have much trouble visiting members in other villages. Unlike our Pastors, who can often schedule their timetable to arrive home in time for their evening meal, many local African pastors spend days and sometimes weeks away from home, visiting churches under their care, whilst teaching, helping and encouraging Christians. This is an arduous task to complete on foot yet hundreds of Pastors do it willingly in their service for the Lord. What a thrill to be able to help some of these men by purchasing a bicycle for them. If all the remuneration of the pastor's income was saved over one year, there still would not be enough to purchase one bicycle.
