AGDILAO: A NEW HORIZON FOR CHRIST
by Ernie Catanghal
This is what BIKE AND BEYOND is all about. With eyes of compassion opened wide we search for them; the broken, the lost, they are the desolate people outside and inside our communities. Those faces the world has forgotten, them that we pass by everyday, the voices we seldom heard. They are God's children and the true reason why we bike and beyond.
We ride the distance to create awareness and to raise support for the mission work in the Mangyan Tribes of the island of Mindoro. We bike the distance to go beyond our our comfort zones and reach out to the needy, to the poorest among the poor.
We are called to man for others, we are called to make a difference. We are always capable of doing God's will for us regardless of who we are and what we are. There's is no rich nor poor in doing good, in caring, in touching someone's life. We are all blessed in one way or another to be a blessing.
Some have seen, some have heard and only few has responded. "For many were called but few were chosen (Matthew 22:14)." We bike and beyond to keep calling like a voice in the desert, knocking at the door of every heart.
Will you care to open up? Will you try to listen?

I have grown up with these people because my parents have been serving them even before I was born.
