For many people, a bicycle is simply a way to get from one place to another. But for someone working to rebuild their life, it can mean so much more. Bicycles can provide reliable transportation to work, recovery meetings, and other opportunities that help create a brighter future.

That’s the heart of Midwest Mission’s partnership with the MBK (My Brother’s Keeper) Bike Ministry in Springfield, Illinois. Together, we help remove transportation barriers by providing bicycles to individuals who are working hard to move forward.

Two recent recipients, Bob* and Joe*, are reminders of how a simple gift can make a lasting difference.

*Bob and Joe are fictitious names used to protect the identity of the recipients.

Last week, torrential rains caused devastating flooding across the Midwest, leaving families with flooded homes and communities facing the long, difficult work of cleanup and recovery.

Because of the generosity of you—our donors and volunteers who prepare supplies before disaster ever happens—help was ready to go.

In New Castle, Indiana, flooding created an urgent need for Cleaning Kits and hygiene supplies. Midwest Mission received a request from New Castle UMC, and the timing was remarkable—something only God could orchestrate. Operations Manager Ramon Ortiz was already planning to travel through Indiana with a trailer.
