Hey Arvid. Windy cool day in Manitoba. Hope its better for you. your speed indicates you are “flying” Yes, the prayers are still there for you. I sent your email of this morning to 20 grandpas on my email list!! That means we are in for your challenge as well. we will match their contributions. No, that does not include Frank or anyone else over your challenge!!!!!!
I’m so proud of what you are doing. You’ve had this incredible God-given passion for MCF children ever since your first race for MCF back in 2005. Not only are you doing something that is mind-bending – your faithfulness and determination to help others is also a blessing to the rest of us to encourage us to hear God’s call on our lives and to pursue it. We’re praying for you all the time and we’re glued to the website. Thanks for leading by example.

Hi Uncle Arvid! Mommy & I are praying for you this morning. I wanted her to send you a note from me (because I don’t know how to type or spell very well yet). I know that you can do it so KEEP GOING! I know that you can get all the way & i know that you can help the kids – and you are doing GREAT! So keep working hard!! Can’t wait to ride bike with you when you get home. I love you a lot.
My house is a MESS Arvid!!! I can’t tear myself away from this computer!!! Just wanted to let you know we’re still with you and we won’t quit on you!! Still praying and singing Scripture over you. Fortunately for those around me I’m not doing the singing part out loud, but I know God will still hear me and bless you just the same.
Hi Arvid! The first couple of verses in this chapter came to me this morning. And then when I prayed for you they seemed to apply in a special, literal way. Blessings on you, Janelle
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore

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.
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.
