In spite of the difficult conditions this morning, Arvid is remarkably up beat and positive. He’s asked several times to hear about your comments and responses via twitter and web comments. He finds these very encouraging. Please keep the encouragements coming, even if just to let him know you are thinking of him.

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.
Arvid you are doing an amazing thing, but far more amazing to me is your heart for the kids. I just watched the halfway interview and was very inspired. We might use that video for our church’s plans to get into mentoring and caring for the younger generation. May God keep you healthy and strong.
As Arvid’s daughter I have been on numerous support crews for crazy long rides. And I can testify to the huge encouragement it gives him to know people are praying for him and that even though the road out there may seem desolate at times, people are thinking about him. Thanks for all the comments guys.
And dad, Oliver and I are cheering you on from home. We love you so much.
Arvid,
Besides the awesome amt. of funds be that will raised, others are moved and inspired by your ‘David” like valiant effort..Your life of sacrifice and dedication is an inspiration..
Your example illustrates what can be accomplished when simply one man with willing hands (and legs:) )and a vision is motivated to action.. What started simply has now become nation wide and I cant help but think how many others are thinking ‘what can i do?’…we are all challenged… This has become BIG ! God is using you to also motivate others to action..
We are praying for great health & God’s blessings as you continue on !!!
Arvid, you are an amazing man of God! And God is so obviously working through you in such an amazing way! We pray that His loving Presence continues to be with you and even overwhelm you. We pray Peace, beyond understanding; and power Beyond anything you could imagine; not only spiritual and mental power but also physical power and energy and strength and health; we pray that you become stronger, healthier, and more energized as you go, (contrary to what would be expected in the natural), and even that your hip is healed completely. Our God is amazing! Exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or imagine! And know this, not only are you supporting a great cause in Africa, but you are bringing God’s presence and His healing power to Canada, as you pedal inch by inch across this great country. We pray that God’s presence so fills you, that it leaks out through you as you go! Ride on!
Be Blessed,
Frank & Anne-Marie
Much support, applause and encouragement offered to you from the Grade 11 students at Rundle College in Calgary who travelled to MCF last March. We were all touched by the hope and faith we observed in the beneficiaries and children at MCF Ndalani and Yatta. With every push of the pedal, we know that Arvid is sacrificing so much to contribute positively to the lives of the children in Charles and Esther Mulli’s care. Please know that we are amazed and humbled by your efforts. God speed!

It was great to see you at the beginning of the event near Agassiz, BC and we have been tracking you ever since! We are inspired and encouraged by the vision God has placed on your life and it is He that is providing you with the physical, mental, and spiritual strength to endure as the miles roll by. Our family wants to encourage you not only in our daily prayer for you but also in supporting Mully Children’s Family with $200.00. We wish you many blessings this second half!

Hi Uncle Arvid,
Just wanted to tell you that I have developed a tic where I push refresh on your website every chance I get. It’s exciting to watch ur progress across the country and it will serve as a powerful example of perseverance in my life for years to come. Knowing this is givng many children a bright future adds to the goodness of it all. May you continue with an underlying joy that sustains you.
Way to go Arvid! We are so proud of you. Just think, there are children in Kenya that will be rescued because of your faithfulness. Our rock and roll band prayed specifically for strength for you at our practice last night. I so admire what you are doing. We’re looking forward to playing at the MCF event in Winnipeg to honour what you’re doing with Charles Mulli. Keep going strong, brother. Paul
Arvid, I think what you are doing is absolutely amazing! I check the website probably more than 20 times a day to see how you are doing and if there are any more updates. I am praying for you, and I wish you all the best in the second half of the ride.
in tears watching the videos from this morning. honestly Uncle Arvid – you are one of the most amazing, STRONG men I have ever met. You are SAVING lives. and what you are doing is causing all of us to be more aware of how we can help. You CAN do this!! 🙂 🙂 xoxoxo
I will keep praying for Arvids steadfastness today! It is hard to imagine how he does what he does but not hard to imagine why he does it! After visiting MCF in Africa I understand his passion! We will continue to fund raise in Portage! God bless you all!
