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.
Rushed home on my lunch break to check up on you! YEAH! Some much older grandmas and grandpas prayed for you this morning at the worship service held in the nursing home I work in. I also used you as an object lesson. God uses old and young grandpas and grandmas….Be of good cheer! Hope I can be at the church when you make your grand entrance!
You can do it! Yeay Grandpa Arvid! Woohoo!
I find myself glued to your website, checking topographical maps, local forecasts, and really pulling for you Arvid! Keeping up with your progress has provided some rich teaching times between us and our sons. Teaching about children who have no home and no parents…something you are so passionate to help reconcile. To the crew, wishing you stamina, encouraging words, and joy as you support your good friend on this last piece of the journey. To Charles, may you be blessed and encouraged by some time in Canada and standing beside your brother Arvid in this amazing experience. Blessings to you and your Family! To Ruth, it must be quite a marathon supporting your husband during this endeavor. It seems that being the supportive partner can be as taxing as being the one enduring the challenge only in different ways. May you have strength to see him through. God’s peace and joy to you all! Our prayers continue for you.
Jayson, Gina, and the boys.
