Want to take part in the global fight against modern-day slavery? Join with me and a group of cyclist as we "Ride Against Traffick" September 6-10th, 2014!

Many of us have been training for months and months, putting in serious hours of training, to take part in this 5 day, 650 kilometer cycling event to raise awareness and financially support two NGO's based in South Korea that are directly supporting and protecting those who are most vulnerable to predation by human traffickers. (Check out more details below)

To partner with me and make a real impact in the fight against the modern day slavery, pledge your financial support and spread the word!!
Together we can "Ride Against Traffick"!

Details:
Dates: 2014 Sep 6-10 (Saturday to Wednesday)
Route: 4 Rivers Cycle Path from Busan to Seoul (riders will take the KTX to Busan, and the bikes will be sent via truck ahead of time). We'll cover approximately 120-135 km per day.
Worship and Prayer: Each night we'll have an optional worship and prayer meeting. Sunday morning we will have an optional worship service before we depart for the day.


Objectives:
1. Raise awareness about the injustice of human trafficking, especially sex trafficking, as well as the plight of orphans (high risk targets of pimps/traffickers) in Korea. Awareness is spread through each involved person's relationships, social circles and social networks - there will be daily updates as we bike from Busan to Seoul.
2. Raise funds for House of Hope (Korea's only gospel-centered restoration center for trafficked victims) and Oak Tree Project (college scholarship and mentoring program for true orphans). We raise funds through our website www.rideagainsttraffick.org
3. Pray for leaders, laws, law enforcement, society/culture perspective, pimps/traffickers, johns, and victims. Pray for justice. Pray for churches and Christians to rise up, live out the gospel in caring for the orphans, marginalized, and oppressed.


Requirements:
1. A road bike or hybrid bike, front and rear lights, helmet. Biking shorts highly recommended.
2. Physical / doctor approval of health
3. Training - Cyclists must commit to ride 20 km 3x a week and to taking one longer ride per week. We have a group that is already training in Seoul and the Incheon group will start next week.

Donations to this project are not tax-deductible.
