Early in the morning on September 4, 2010, I sensed God speak to me as I read, "I looked for a man among them who would build up a wall and stand before me in the gap . . . but I found none" (Ezekiel 22:30).

This scripture penetrated my heart and confirmed my call to ride a bicycle across the U.S. to raise awareness of the needs of the children in South Asia. The funds raised are sent to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM)-South Asia to establish new Child Development Centers.
