In the book Blueprint for Discipleship, Kevin Watson tells how his church sent a group on a mission trip to Mexico. Since their project was to build a house, they got local lumber yards to donate construction materials. As they were loading the trailer to go, a church member pulled into the parking lot with a used bicycle. Not willing to cause a scene by denying the gift, they threw it in trailer, and headed off. In Mexico, they took the bike out of the trailer, put it in the room where they would sleep at night, and launched into their project. Toward the end of their time in Mexico, they remembered the bike. Knowing they couldn’t go home without giving it away, they began to worry. “After all,” they thought, “who would want a beat up old bike?”
