Dear Ellen,

August is upon us, and that can only mean one thing: the Team Life Bike Ride is right around the corner! This fun event is an incredible way to support the ministry and make an impact in the lives of families here in Louisville. Three routes are available for the morning ride (14, 25 and 53 miles), and we will also have areas for kids ages 11 and under to ride, along with fun kid activities including face painting and balloon twisting. See information below to find out more!

The need has never been greater here in Louisville and we consider ourselves blessed to get to serve precious lives each day. Check out these ministry updates:

• Our Thursday evening programming celebrates one year of service this month! Read here about the impact it is having and how you can get involved.
• Reaching clients with the gospel is the heart of what we do. Read a few of their stories here.
• Serving on the front line of this ministry is critical for clients making appointments and making them feel comfortable immediately. Click here to meet our Intake Coordinator, Kaitlyn Pindak.
• The Team Life Bike Ride is coming up on Saturday, August 10th at Southeast Christian Church. Click here for details and to register.

Praises:

• For our new Childcare Helper, Renee Waldner.
• That our Thursday evening programming continues to reach families each week.
• For the saved babies that we have had this summer.
• For God's faithful provision of our ministry through our generous donors which enables us to provide services to clients at no cost.
• That we are fully staffed heading into the fall.
• For our new Fatherhood Champion, Tim Hartlage.

Prayer Requests:



• That our Team Life Bike Ride will be an incredible event and raise funds needed for the ministry.
• Pray for our nurses in the pregnancy center to have discernment and wisdom in working with each client that they meet.
• For the health and protection for our staff.
• Pray for our Board of Directors and our Executive Director, Monica, as they guide and direct the ministry.
• Pray more fathers would come to pregnancy test and ultrasound appointments and be open to talking with our men's ministry advocates.
• Pray that the hearts and minds of our pregnancy center and life skills clients would be open to hearing the gospel and that they would make decisions for Christ.

Thank you for your faithful support of BsideU! It's because of you that lives are saved and changed here in Louisville. We are grateful for you!

Sincerely,

Ellen Hurt
