BCH Staff Member Rides The West for Boys and Girls
April 16, 2008
Baptist Children’s Homes' Lewis Smith has pledged to “Ride the West” with a goal to raise $50,000 to help boys and girls in the care of Baptist Children's Homes. Beginning June 23, Smith will start an ambitious journey peddling his bicycle nearly 400 miles across 19 western North Carolina counties during series of six stages.
Lewis, who works in western North Carolina to raise support for Baptist Children's Homes, kicks-off “Ride the West” on June 23, 2008, leaving from the Ashe Baptist Association office in West Jefferson. Stage 1 entails traveling 70 miles the next four days through Ashe, Watauga, Avery, and Mitchell Counties. Each stage takes Lewis by the churches, associations and businesses he works closely with that faithfully support BCH.
“As I ride through these counties I will take every opportunity to speak to business and civic groups, and churches and Vacation Bible Schools along the way,” Lewis says. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to remind our close friends about the impact of BCH’s ministry to children in crisis.”
“Ride the West” culminates at BCH’s Western Area Conference. Lewis will complete the last leg of the ride peddling his bike to BCH’s Broyhill Home in Clyde on September 4th for the area’s annual event.
