In the rural villages of Ivory Coast, the journey of faith is often marked by challenges. For Pastor Doh Bi Do, a Gospel singer and evangelist, these challenges became even more pronounced after suffering a stroke several years ago. Though he has made significant progress in his recovery, the lingering after-effects left him with difficulty walking. “As a result, I walk with a limp. In a way, I have problems walking normally,” he explains. With limited mobility, his ability to visit and minister to communities dwindled, making his mission field feel farther and farther away.
However, God’s provision often comes in ways we least expect. “Glory be to God that, thanks to ServeNow, I benefited from a free bicycle last month,” he shares with gratitude. Through ServeNow’s generosity, Pastor Doh Bi Do received a bicycle—a gift that has restored his ability to travel and spread the Good News. “This situation has reduced my output in the field, and my visits have become almost rare. But now, I can continue serving the Lord more effectively.”
Pastor Doh Bi Do acknowledges that many pastors were on the waiting list for a bicycle, but by God’s grace, he was chosen first. “There were several pastors on the waiting list, but by God’s grace, I was chosen first to receive the bike you see me holding.” This bicycle is more than just a mode of transportation; it represents hope, freedom, and the ability to fulfill his calling once again.
The impact of this gift extends beyond Pastor Doh Bi Do’s ministry. He also recognizes the heartfelt generosity behind it. The funds for the bicycle were raised in memory of Brandon Reynolds, a young man whose legacy continues to touch lives. “I also know that Mr. Brad raised the funds in memory of his son, Brandon Reynolds. May God bless and strengthen his servant. He has done a good deed, and with this bike, many souls will be won by the Lord.” He finds comfort in knowing that one day, he will meet Brandon in heaven, where they will worship the King of Kings together. “One day, we will meet with Brandon in heaven to celebrate the King of Kings. He has only gone ahead of us in glory.”
As he pedals from village to village, Pastor Doh Bi Do is not just riding a bicycle—he is carrying the Gospel, fueled by faith and the love of God’s people. His prayer is simple yet profound: “May God always give us faith until the last day of our lives on this earth.”
This is the power of equipping those who serve. A single bicycle has reignited a ministry, restored a mission, and reinforced the unwavering truth that God provides in every season.
Brad has just 40 bikes left to raise out of the 150 needed. Will you help finish this strong? Your support will empower more pastors like Pastor Doh Bi Do to continue their calling.
