Story

On 3rd of September I'm taking part in the second EMMS International Bike & Hike Challenge.  My challenge involves cycling between participating churches within a specific area - this year I'm taking in the Churches of Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy Presyteries, and will be cycling over 50 miles.

The funds raised will support the work of EMMS International and a Kinghorn Youth Fellowship trip to Malawi next June.  The Youth fellowship are going to Ekwendeni to work with primary school children and young people of their own age. 

It's a life changing experience that will really challenge them, exposing them to a different culture, and to see first hand the impact of severe poverty and the challenges of trying to help people in such poverty.

The kids are working really hard to raise funds through events and challenges of their own.  I'd really appreciate your help in contributing to my challenge support them. 

The other half of the funds raised will go to help the work of the charity that I work for.  EMMS International supports healthcare in India, Malawi and Nepal, focusing on the poorest people in the poorest communities.

Please give what you can to help these really important causes! 

Thanks for your help!

James
