On June 8th, Les will be riding the
Sea to Summit Gran Fondo.
This is an 87 mile ride that starts in Ventura and climbs 12,000 feet
to the summit at Mt. Pinos. Rides like this are not unusual for Les, he
will be riding up Haleakala on Maui this weekend (36 miles with over
10,000 feet of climbing.)
Why am I bringing this ride to your attention? This ride is for a cause. Sea to Summit is part of the
Teen Challenge
Year of Jubilee celebration. For 50 years, Teen Challenge Southern
California has helped people addicted to drugs and alcohol find
freedom and new life in Christ. Teen Challenge reaches out to people
from all backgrounds, with particular emphasis on the urban poor, women,
and ethnic minorities.
I
personally know someone who benefited from this program. He made one
bad decision after another. His life was filled with addictions and it
was only when a court order put him in Teen Challenge that he finally
got free of those addictions. Teen Challenge isn't just for teens,
adults also benefit from this program.
