ARVID LOEWEN ARRIVED IN HALIFAX! NEW WORLD RECORD!!

Arvid Loewen has just completed a trans-Canada race from Vancouver City Hall to Halifax City Hall, with a time of 13 DAYS, 6 HOURS, 13 MINUTES (exact time to be verified).  Current Guinness World Record was 13 days, 9 hours, 6 minutes.

An incredible trans-Canada trek of 6040km complete!!

Congratulations Arvid.  The magnitude of this moment is only dwarfed by the dream you carry to make a difference in the lives of thousands of forgotten and abandoned street kids in Kenya.  Through your efforts many children will have a chance to beat impossible odds and experience hope.

Arvid chose to believe that Grandpas Can make a difference.  Join him.  Donate today.

    Arvid, today a miracle happened in our lives, in our journey, one hour before you crossed the finish line, the birth parents to the son we’ve been raising signed over their rights for us to adopt him… up until today, they were fighting this. Its a miracle, and God has brought us through hell….. we are going to be able to call this little boy we’ve been raising OUR SON!!! God is a redeemer to children. God loves them so much… Thank you for encouraging and “living” the journey with us. We are so joyful for his mercy and grace on your journey and life and how he is working in the children in Kenya. GOD BLESS you! Here’s the song that touched Greg and I as court was happening for our son, and you were 2 hours out of Halifax… be encouraged!

    “Water You turned into wine
    Open the eyes of the blind
    There’s no one like You
    None like You
    Into the darkness You shine
    Out of the ashes we rise
    There’s no one like You
    None like You

    CHORUS
    Our God is greater, our God is stronger
    God You are higher than any other
    Our God is Healer, awesome and power
    Our God, Our God…

    Into the darkness you shine
    Out of the ashes we Rise
    There’s no One like You
    None like You.

    Our God is greater, our God is stronger
    God You are higher than any other
    Our God is Healer, awesome and power
    Our God, Our God…
    Our God is greater, our God is stronger
    God You are higher than any other
    Our God is Healer, awesome and power
    Our God, Our God…

    BRIDGE
    And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
    And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
    And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
    And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
    What can stand against?” Chris Tomlin
