Final 24 – Racing to the Finish Line

Last night, Arvid took a turn for the worse. Sleep would not energize him and knees took to bothering him again – Appalachia’s high climbs are not letting him make good distance. He’s travelled a whole 4358 km, but he still has 461.8 to go – just 10% of the ride remains to be completed in a little

over 25 hours. At present, he’s heading toward Aurora, West Virginia.

This the final run! Arvid is going to have to average 18 km/h, meaning he will have to push a 12.5 mph average, greater than his race-official average of 10.5 mph thus far. Please pray for energy and mental clarity as Arvid races against time and space to the end.

    Dear Father, thank You that You have brought Arvid this far, and You will continue to bring him to finish this race! We so pray that You would strengthen his knees, his mind, his legs, his spirit!! Speak Your truth to him and his crew and encourage them. May Arvid experience Your help of Psalm 18:29 “With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.” Above all, bring glory to Your name, and open people’s hearts to give, so the goal of $100 per child at Mully Children’s Family will not just be met, but exceeded!! Thank You, IN Jesus’ Name AMEN
    GO ARVID GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We’re praying for God’s miraculous power and strength to enable you this last day. Also that you will have the mind of Christ to think clearly – and know His healing in you body, particularly your left knee.
    You have touched many lives, beyond those of the MCF! God bless you, and yours.
