Wade in 1973. The \u201cMissing Man Formation\u201d has two bikes in the front, two bikes in the back and one bike in between. The slot where the sixth rider would be, was left open. We all rotated throughout the ride so each one could experience the pain of looking to his right and not seeing a rider, remembering the babies that could have been there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lastly<\/strong>, it became a real revelation this year that abortion is \u201ca defiance of\u201d or \u201ca reproach to\u201d our God. The Bible tells us, we were known before the foundations of the world and that the Lord is involved in our development in the womb. When a baby is aborted, we are screaming at our God and saying He made a mistake. We do not know the ways and thoughts of God inclusively, we do not know how a child conceived out of wedlock works in the order of God, BUT WE CAN BE SURE OF THIS ONE THING, HE KNEW THE BABY WOULD BE CONCEIVED AND HE HAS A PLAN FOR THAT BABY JUST AS MUCH AS HE DOES ANY OTHER BABY.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the hurricanes wrecked havoc on our route:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We missed nine of our nineteen stops along the way.<\/li>\n<li>Churches and people told us they could not give us diapers, baby wipes or money due to \u2028sending all they could to the victims of the hurricane (we have no problem with this). Yet we almost doubled our diapers and baby wipes and almost raised as much money as we did the year before.<\/li>\n<li>Our team added 163 miles to our route and yet we did it in just 45 minutes longer, still over two hours under the allotted time. \u2028As a result of Marysol Martinez (Director of RHM and President of the Board of Directors) and Joey Leggett working with DRUSA of the IPHC, M25 is able to send 55,000 diapers and 55,000 baby wipes tohurricane ravished Puerto Rico. We knew from the beginning that we would raise more diapers and baby wipes than could be utilized, but believed the vision of RHM was to save lives and young ladies. We knew their kingdom vision would assist other crisis pregnancy agencies with diapers all in the name of LIFE. Little did we know the cry from Puerto Rico would be for the \u2028very thing we had an abundance of.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It has been a standard of M25 to not elevate one minister or ministry over another. A $100 offering maybe as sacrificial as a donation of $1000, therefore, let us thank God for the ten stops and the sacrifice of the ministries that made it happen. Our ride would mean nothing without you.<\/p>\n<p>REMEMBER: It is not the size of the dog in the fight; it is the size of the fight in the dog.

Quer\u00edamos salvarlos de los recuerdos feos. <strong>Cuarto<\/strong> , quer\u00edamos salvar la vida del beb\u00e9. Nos preguntamos, \u00bfhemos abortado al beb\u00e9 que crecer\u00eda y encontrar\u00eda la cura para el c\u00e1ncer? \u00bfEl problema de las drogas? Dos j\u00f3venes, uno de 35, otro de 41 a\u00f1os, que cada uno quer\u00eda una familia propia, cabalgaron para hacer una declaraci\u00f3n de vida motivada por su dolor y las experiencias que han soportado. Este a\u00f1o montamos en \"Missing Man Formation\" en memoria de los 59 millones de beb\u00e9s abortados desde Roe v. Wade en 1973. La \"Missing Man Formation\" tiene dos bicicletas en la parte delantera, dos motos en la parte trasera y una moto en Entre. La ranura donde estar\u00eda el sexto piloto, qued\u00f3 abierta. Todos giramos a lo largo del viaje para que cada uno pudiera experimentar el dolor de mirar a su derecha y no ver a un jinete, recordando a los beb\u00e9s que podr\u00edan haber estado all\u00ed. <strong>Por \u00faltimo<\/strong> , se convirti\u00f3 en una verdadera revelaci\u00f3n este a\u00f1o que el aborto es \"un desaf\u00edo de\" o \"un reproche a\" nuestro Dios. La Biblia nos dice que fuimos conocidos ante los cimientos del mundo y que el Se\u00f1or est\u00e1 involucrado en nuestro desarrollo en el vientre. Cuando un beb\u00e9 es abortado, estamos gritando a nuestro Dios y diciendo que cometi\u00f3 un error. No sabemos los caminos y pensamientos de Dios inclusivamente, no sabemos c\u00f3mo un ni\u00f1o concebido fuera del matrimonio trabaja en el orden de Dios, PERO PODEMOS ESTAR SEGUROS DE ESTA COSA, SAB\u00cdA QUE EL BEB\u00c9 SER\u00cdA CONCEBIDO Y HA UN PLAN PARA ESE BEB\u00c9 S\u00d3LO COMO EL HACE ALG\u00daN BEB\u00c9. Este a\u00f1o, los huracanes causaron estragos en nuestra ruta:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Perdimos nueve de nuestras diecinueve paradas en el camino.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Las iglesias y la gente nos dijeron que no pod\u00edan darnos pa\u00f1ales, toallitas para beb\u00e9s o dinero debido a enviar todo lo que pod\u00edan a las v\u00edctimas del hurac\u00e1n (no tenemos ning\u00fan problema con esto). Sin embargo, casi doblamos nuestros pa\u00f1ales y toallitas para beb\u00e9s y casi logramos tanto dinero como lo hicimos el a\u00f1o anterior.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Nuestro equipo agreg\u00f3 163 millas a nuestra ruta y a\u00fan lo hicimos en s\u00f3lo 45 minutos m\u00e1s, a\u00fan m\u00e1s de dos horas bajo el tiempo asignado. Como resultado de Marysol Martinez (Director de RHM y Presidente de la Junta de Directores) y Joey Leggett trabajando con DRUSA de la IPHC, M25 es capaz de enviar 55.000 pa\u00f1ales y 55.000 toallitas de beb\u00e9 tohurricane ravished Puerto Rico. Sab\u00edamos desde el principio que aumentar\u00edamos m\u00e1s pa\u00f1ales y toallitas para beb\u00e9s de los que pod\u00edamos utilizar, pero cre\u00edamos que la visi\u00f3n de RHM era salvar vidas y j\u00f3venes damas. Sab\u00edamos que su visi\u00f3n del reino ayudar\u00eda a otras agencias de crisis de embarazo con pa\u00f1ales en nombre de LIFE. Poco sab\u00edamos que el grito de Puerto Rico ser\u00eda por lo mismo que ten\u00edamos en abundancia.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nHa sido un est\u00e1ndar de M25 no elevar un ministro o ministerio sobre otro. Por lo tanto, una donaci\u00f3n de $ 100 que ofrece tal sacrificio como una donaci\u00f3n de $ 1000, agradecemos a Dios por las diez paradas y el sacrificio de los ministerios que lo hicieron posible.
