Mark Schultz to cycle across America to raise money for orphans and widows

PLATINUM selling CCM star Mark Schultz will embark on an Across America bike ride to raise support for orphans and widows. From 6th May through early July, Schultz will bicycle from California to New Hampshire stopping along the way to perform concerts featuring music from his acclaimed, best-selling album, 'Broken & Beautiful' (Word Records). Schultz's inspiration to make the 3,500-mile trek came from a visit he and his wife, Kate, made to orphanages in Mexico. In the spring of 2006, they went on a mission trip with The James Fund, a non-profit organization founded by Family Christian Stores, to meet the needs of orphans and widows in distress. Schultz's own adoption drew him to explore this ministry. Seeing firsthand the harsh realities for many orphans and realising that he could have easily been one of the boys in the orphanage, he wanted to make a difference.
