Klaas Slagter, a member of the Westdale Reformed Church in Hamilton, is
spending his summer "Biking for Bibles". In celebration of the Canadian
Bible Society (CBS) 100th anniversary, CBS decided to host its first
national Bike for Bibles event.
"Bike for Bibles" hopes to raise $500,000 to help produce resources designed
to meet the needs of specialized ministries working in the inner city,
prisons, first nations and youth. Every kilometre traveled and every hill
conquered means more dollars raised needed to translate and distribute the
bible to those who are in need. Most of us likely have more than one bible,
while millions around the world pay a great price for just one page of God’s
Word. The main focus of the ride is to make the Word of God available and
accessible in all parts of the world in every language. Let’s let God’s love
for people be the primary motivation to Bike for Bibles.
The ride started in Victoria, British Columbia, on July 2nd. Over 64 days
the team will cover more than 7,500 kilometres as they make their way
through every province in Canada until they arrive in St. John’s,
Newfoundland, on September 3rd. Along the way, they will pass through more
than 200 communities. Church groups across the country are preparing now for
they're arrival and they are excited by the response. This journey will
honour the legacy of those who took the Bible from community to community as
Canada grew and celebrate the future as they continue to spread God’s Word
throughout this land.
