March For Life<\/h3>\n

January 27, 2017<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mission:M25 riders began to load their bikes as the sun came up on this January 26 morning in Falcon, NC. Riders from Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia gathered, \u00a0sharing stories since our last gathering. The skies were overcast and there was a cool drizzle falling but the excitement, enthusiasm for the “Mission” ahead was not dampened. Twenty-One bikes fired up heading to the Royal Home Ministries (RHM) where we joined young ladies who were either with child or a newborn, plus an encouraging staff awaited our arrival with hot coffee and pastries.<\/p>\n

RHM Director, Marysol Martinez, greeted us and introduced a young lady who had recently been accepted into three universities set the tone of the mission. She gave an inspiring story of the value of a home where girls without hope, support and direction can find a way to fulfillment. Where they are given the opportunity (not pressured) to accept the Lord as their Saviour. She spoke of the joy and direction due to the Holy Spirit and the support of our home.<\/p>\n

Riders mounted their bikes and rode across the street where the children, some 90 plus from grades K-12 were standing with banners and yelling as we drove thru the covered awning. Joey Leggett, Falcon Children’s Home director greeted us and introduced us to the principle, Bro. Strickland who prayed over us with tears running down his cheeks for the lives we were standing for. It was a short and inspiring event.<\/p>\n

Our bikes then traveled to Redemption Ministries were Bishop Dayton Birt and wife, Lynn were waiting with hot, homemade vegetable beef soup and sandwiches. Our annual stop is a great half-way place to refresh and warm up before we finish the journey to Washington DC. We rejoiced for the dry and safe trip the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, Bishop Abel Palomo was waiting with a great meal and open arms from the Mid-Atlantic Conference and the church in College Park, MD. After filling up with a great meal, a super charged service was waiting us upstairs in the sanctuary. Then off for a few hours of sleep.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The next morning we rallied early for a IPHC March for Life Rally where we were led by our Presiding Bishop, Dr. Doug Beacham. It was such an honor to have Bishop Danny Nelson from the North Carolina Conference join us, several pastors, approximately forty M25 folks in cars and on bikes with the total we estimated of over 200 people head to the March For Life Rally on the mall in our nations capitol. You could identify us by the matching gold colored sock caps with the RHM logo embrodried on them that was provided by Bishop Palomo. We were so blessed and inspired as we witnessed and participated in the largest rally for life in recent years. To have Vice-President of the USA, Mike Pence take the stage set a completely different tone for our rally. At the same time, it made you aware of just how fragile life can be as we stood on the hill looking at the TSA Security booths and the snipers on the top of the buildings around us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are in a time of true moral war in our country where we must stand for truth, righteousness and life every opportunity give to us. Let us hear the voice of a martyr for principles we hold dear, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, ‘Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.’ We may have yet a small window of time to stand up for that which we hold dear. My prayer is that the history books will be kind to this generation when our actions are written.<\/p>\n

Marcha por la Vida <\/h3> 27 de enero de 2017 Misi\u00f3n: jinetes M25 comenz\u00f3 a cargar sus bicicletas como el sol sali\u00f3 en este mes de enero 26 de la ma\u00f1ana en Falc\u00f3n, Carolina del Norte. Corredores de Texas, Oklahoma, Carolina del Sur, Carolina del Norte y Virginia se reunieron, compartiendo historias desde nuestra \u00faltima reuni\u00f3n. El cielo estaba nublado y hab\u00eda una llovizna fr\u00eda cayendo pero la emoci\u00f3n, el entusiasmo por la "Misi\u00f3n" por delante no fue humedecido. Veinti\u00fan bicicletas dispararon hacia arriba en direcci\u00f3n a la Real Ministerios Inicio (RHM) donde nos unimos a las j\u00f3venes que, o bien con el ni\u00f1o o un reci\u00e9n nacido, adem\u00e1s de un personal alentadores esperaban nuestra llegada con caf\u00e9 caliente y pasteles. Director de RHM, Marysol Mart\u00ednez, nos dio la bienvenida y present\u00f3 a una joven que hab\u00eda sido recientemente aceptado en tres universidades establecen el tono de la misi\u00f3n. Ella dio una historia inspiradora del valor de una casa donde las ni\u00f1as sin esperanza, apoyo y direcci\u00f3n pueden encontrar una forma de realizaci\u00f3n. Donde se les da la oportunidad (no presionado) para aceptar al Se\u00f1or como su Salvador. Ella habl\u00f3 de la alegr\u00eda y la direcci\u00f3n debido al Esp\u00edritu Santo y el apoyo de nuestra casa. Jinetes montados en sus bicicletas y se dirigieron al otro lado de la calle donde los ni\u00f1os, algunos 90 m\u00e1s de los grados K-12 estaban de pie con pancartas y gritando como nos condujo a trav\u00e9s del toldo de cubierta. Joey Leggett, director principal de Falcon ni\u00f1os nos recibi\u00f3 y nos introdujo al principio, Bro. Strickland que oraron por nosotros con l\u00e1grimas corriendo por sus mejillas por las vidas que estaban de pie para. Fue un evento corto e inspirador. Nuestras bicicletas entonces viajaron a los Ministerios la redenci\u00f3n fuera Obispo de Dayton Birt y esposa, Lynn estaban esperando con agua caliente, sopa y s\u00e1ndwiches de carne vegetal hecha en casa. Nuestra parada anual es un gran lugar a mitad de camino para refrescar y calentar antes de terminar el viaje a Washington DC. Nos regocijamos por el viaje seco y seguro el resto del camino. A su llegada, el obispo Abel Palomo estaba esperando con una gran comida y los brazos abiertos de la Conferencia del Atl\u00e1ntico Medio y la iglesia en College Park, MD. Despu\u00e9s de llenar con una gran comida, un super cargado servicio nos estaba esperando arriba en el santuario. Luego se apaga durante unas pocas horas de sue\u00f1o. A la ma\u00f1ana siguiente se reunieron a principios de marzo de IISP para el Rally de la Vida, donde se nos hizo por nuestro Obispo Presidente, el Dr. Doug Beacham. Fue un gran honor tener al Obispo Danny Nelson de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Carolina del Norte se unen a nosotros, varios pastores, aproximadamente cuarenta personas M25 en los coches y en bicicletas con total se estim\u00f3 de m\u00e1s de 200 personas se dirigen a la Marcha por la Vida en el centro comercial de nuestra capital naciones. Se podr\u00eda identificar a nosotros por los que emparejan color oro tapas de calcet\u00edn con el logotipo de RHM embrodried en ellos que fue proporcionada por el obispo Palomo. Est\u00e1bamos tan bendita e inspirados como hemos sido testigos y particip\u00f3 en la mayor manifestaci\u00f3n por la vida en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os. Tener vicepresidente de los EE.UU., Mike Pence al escenario establecer un tono completamente diferente para nuestro rally. Al mismo tiempo, se le hizo consciente de cu\u00e1n fr\u00e1gil puede ser la vida mientras est\u00e1bamos en la colina mirando a las cabinas de seguridad de la TSA y los francotiradores en la parte superior de los edificios que nos rodean. Estamos en un momento de verdadera guerra moral en nuestro pa\u00eds, donde hay que defender la verdad, la justicia y la vida cada oportunidad que nos dan. Oigamos la voz de un m\u00e1rtir de principios que apreciamos, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "Silencio en la cara del mal es el mal en s\u00ed: Dios no nos dar\u00e1 por inocente. No hablar es hablar. No actuar es actuar.' Podemos tener a\u00fan una peque\u00f1a ventana de tiempo para levantarse por lo que lo que apreciamos. Mi oraci\u00f3n es que los libros de historia ser\u00e1 amable con esta generaci\u00f3n cuando nuestras acciones est\u00e1n escritos.
