Ride Against Traffick: Kristen Hendricks

Dear Family and Friends,

Hello! I’m doing the “Ride Against Traffick,” a 4-day bike ride from Busan to Seoul, because I believe God’s heart BURNS to see the oppressed set free and made whole. As a disciple of Jesus, I believe I’ve been called to “proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound” (Isaiah 61:1). As I do the Ride Against Traffick, I’m raising money that will go directly to three organizations: House of Hope, Hope Be Restored, and Oak Tree Project. These organizations directly combat sex trafficking. House of Hope is a crisis center for rescued victims of sex-trafficking. Hope Be Restored is an anti-trafficking network. And Oak Tree Project is a scholarship fund/mentorship program for college-aged orphans in Korea. For more information on these organizations, check out these websites:

I ask that you please prayerfully consider giving to the Ride. I’ve spent hours training for this ride because I believe that God moves powerfully when we stand up for righteousness. If you decide to give, you can pay through paypal, Korean bank transfer, or by mailing a check.

Thank you for your support!
Kristen

The Ride Against Traffick is a five day, 550km bike ride from Busan to Seoul intended to raise awareness of the problem of human trafficking in South Korea and to fight it. Your donations will go to two great organizations who are actively working to combat this modern-day evil: Hope Be Restored, which is one of the leading anti-trafficking ministries in Korea, and Oak Tree Project, which is a scholarship and mentoring program for orphans in Korea. The ride costs are paid completely by the participants and sponsors, so 100% of the money we receive from your donation will go straight to these organizations.

Donations made in the United States are tax-deductible through our partner organization, Five Two Foundation.

The ride this year will be September 25-29.

** 제 4회 연례 Ride Against Traffick **

The Ride Against Traffick (거꾸로 국토 종단)은 부산에서 서울까지 5일만에 국토를 종단하는 자전거 여행으로 전국의 교회와 교단의 기독교인이 한 마음 한 뜻으로 한국의 인신매매를 위해 싸운다는 취지를 지니고 있습니다. 참가자들은 매일 평균 125km를 자전거로 주행하며, 저녁마다 찬양과 기도를 드립니다. 한국의 아름다움을 체험함과 동시에, 참가자들은 한국의 부활을 기원하며, 성경에서 가르치는 고아와 억압받는 자들을 위해 살라는 하나님의 말씀을 실천하는 삶을 살도록 기도합니다. 육체적으로는 고단하지만 영적으로는 새로이 일깨워지는 일생일대의 한 주간이 될 것입니다. 자전거 초보자부터 전문가까지, 열심히 훈련할 준비가 되어있다면 누구나 참가할 수 있습니다. 기간은 추석연휴(9월 25일-29일까지)이며 www.ratk.org 에서 참가 신청하실 수 있습니다.
