However, communities are far-flung which means that great distances have to be covered in the quest to spread the gospel. In addition to this, the terrain is frequently inhospitable and unforgiving, making the lack of a properly developed transport infrastructure more sorely felt. War damage and devastation has left many rivers uncrossable by 4 wheel drive vehicles or by car because bridges have been blown up by civil war or swept away by floods. Most men of God are very poor, living only on edible leaves they have cooked. Sometimes with no more than three meals a week they have little energy and strength in their bodies.
Bicycles are the answer.
The bicycle is the most practical means of getting the gospel to where it is needed the most. A bicycle can go where a 4 X 4 cannot go.
