About MCF
Charles Mulli is a former street child from the slums of Kenya. He became extremely successful in business, but then God called him to give it all up and care for the orphaned and abandoned children still on the streets in Kenya. Charles Mulli is the founder and CEO of Mully Children's Family. To learn more about MCF, click here.
Arvid's Role
God has called me (Arvid) to be an ambassador for Mully Children's Family. I have chosen to use ultramarathon cycling as my platform from which to fulfill this calling. You can follow my ride, here, at www.grandpascan.com/ride. To read more about me and my story, click here.Donate
I am asking you to help. I am trying to raise funds for the ongoing and capital expenses for the child mothers program at MCF. This program provides the critical life skills the young mothers need. To learn more about donating, click here.
we just pulled in from a family vacation out west; our journey began when yours did – i can’t believe you’ve been cycling our entire holiday! i have thought of and prayed for you often during the past 12 days – that God would give you strength, and that you would sense His presence in tangible ways.
i often get teary-eyed as i read “grandpas can” – your determination, vision, and love for the mcf kids is inspiring more people than you will ever know.
“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
Praise the Lord for the miracle of your continued health and strength! He heard/hears and answers the prayers of Mr. Mulli (and many others)!! God give everyone on the journey clarity, strength, wisdom, good weather, and rest in Him as you finish!
Arvid
You are the only person I know who has pushed himself to the outmost bounds of human endurance. If I allow us a glimpse forward of the arrival at Halifax City Hall, the sense of having accomplished and achieved your calling will be immense. I also know that one of the costs of following that call has been the regular need to stare into the dark abyss of the unknown and to ask yourself if you’ve got anything more to give.
Your answer to that question early on was quite profound. you said that you had been encouraged to “give it over to God”. You said that instead, you had concluded that you had to simply let God take it. That has been the most powerful message for me from my avid, daily following of your progress.
So tomorrow morning, on your final eastward bound leg, as the sun comes up over the horizon (hopefully), see that sunrise as God’s gift to you for the trust, faith, perseverance and endurance that you have volunteered.
Finish with confidence and strength! A nation is watching, cheering and admiring you.

Praying for strength for the night and to the end of this amazing journey! You are in our thoughts and prayers with every breath we take! God bless you Arvid and crew as you persevere in this amazingly worthy cause! All of those children that will be blessed and helped with thank and praise God for you!
When I put my kids (age 8 and 5) to bed tonight, each of us prayed for you. Your goal is so much bigger than breaking a record and the harvest of what you are doing has just got to be so big that it will continue on for generations to come! We read in the book of Acts how Paul prayed and a man returned to life… that’s the same power taking you to Halifax!! Wow! Janelle
Arvid/Crew
As you embark on your final night, let it be of comfort you to know that so many and even more are continuosly praying for your safty, emotional and physical strength, that perhaps every minute (or close to it) a prayer is going up to God on your behalf (and the crew).
Wonderful things have, are and will continue to happen.
Be strong,trust in your God, he is with you, and just when it becomes extremely difficult he will carry you.
God as Arvid experiences low and difficult moments while racing to the finish line, help him and provide him with whatever he needs, because you know best.
This we pray in your name.
Amen
Does the horse smell the barn?
Under 400 km’s to go “Steelman”. We are praying for you to have a safe ride tonite.
May the Lord keep His hand upon you and be the source of your strength and determination, as you move into the final stages of this assault.
You have fought the good fight and you will be richly rewarded – rewards that money can’t buy. You are truly a Champion of His Kingdom and the little lives in Kenya.
May the Lord bless you and keep you safe this final nite.
Go Arvid – We are pulling for you.
Wanted to share: Bettie met a couple of ladies near ByMarket in Ottawa. They got to chatting and Bettie shared that she was there to support your ride. Right there on the street the ladies said “let’s make a circle right here and pray for him” and so they did.
God’s blessings, strength and health to you.
Travel safe,
Henry B
