500k Ride
Introduction
500k for 500k.
It was destiny.
2021 saw the first ever 500km cycle for 500k.
And now it’s back.
It may have taken a full year for our saddle soreness to fully recover. But now we’re finally ready…
Come on 500k ride 2022!
Will and Ed are cycling a 500km circular route starting and ending in Oxford. In the mean time we’ll be passing through the Chiltern Hills, Bath, the Wye Valley, the Malverns, and the Cotswolds.
Our goal for this cycle, along with other events this summer, is to raise funds to send 50 more missionaries in India. That’s $48,000.
That’s no mean feat.
HELP US GET THERE!
What is the charity?
500k is a charity that sends Indian people to plant churches in unreached villages of India. The name comes from the need: there are as many as 500,000 villages in India with no Christian presence. So that’s the requirement for everyone to have a chance to meet with Jesus. 500,000 Churches. One for each of the nation’s unreached villages.
Now here’s the fun part: it only costs us $80 a month ($960 a year) to send each of these missionaries.
Our dream is that from this ride and other events this summer, will enable us to raise $48,000 - to send 50 of these workers to minister to 100+ unreached villages.
Help us achieve that by donating!
What’s even more fun is that some incredibly generous individuals have pledged us match funding to cover this this £36k goal. Whatever you give will me matched and doubled!!
Research has shown there are more unreached people in the Indian Subcontinent than the rest of the world COMBINED. Let’s change that!
