This summer, Alliance pastor Bruce Overstreet will ride his bicycle from California to Maine to benefit Koutiala Hospital for Women and Children in Mali, West Africa.

Why Ride?
Mali is considered one of the worst places to be an expectant mother—women often die in childbirth, and 1 out of 4 children do not reach their fifth birthday. But all of this is changing, thanks in part to the partnership between The Alliance and the Malian C&MA church to build a hospital in Koutiala, Mali.

Koutiala Hospital opened in May 2006, providing full maternity, pre-natal, and pediatric services. Currently there are two patient care buildings with plans for a maternity building. But in a country twice the size of the state of Texas, the need for health care is great. Facilities and medical equipment are in high demand.

How YOU can be a part of this fund-raiser
Pastor Overstreet hopes to raise 1 million dollars for Koutiala Hospital with this “extreme” fund-raiser. Your pledge for each mile ridden will enable Koutiala Hospital to expand and provide life-saving services in Mali. Make a difference in the life of a mother and child!
