Inspire, Fall 2007

Inspire 23 alumni association news Upcoming Alumni and Campus Events Cedarville University alumni Jason Briggs ’07 and Derek Stambaugh ’07 took off this summer on the cross-country bike ride of their life as they rode from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. Their trip, called Vision on Wheels, raised support and awareness for the impoverished village of Fisheni in Zambia, Africa, which has been ravaged by AIDS. Cedarville University and its Women of Vision chapter have co-adopted this village and have pledged to help Fisheni in the areas of health, literacy, and water over the next 10 years. Jason and Derek were nearing the end of their nearly 4,000-mile trip as they came to Elverson, Pennsylvania. The South Central Pennsylvania Chapter (led by Curtis ’83 and Carol Stoltzfus Hoke ’82) decided to get on board and welcome Jason and Derek as they rode through their area. On July 2, a group of about 20 alumni and other guests greeted Jason and Derek and listened as they shared their stories from the road. The group blessed them with sandwiches, snacks, and donations, and gathered around them to pray. Jason and Derek raised nearly $7,500 for Fisheni through their trip.
