SUMMARY: New Hebron Missionary Church in Aberdeen, Mississippi, has for the second consecutive year bought over 150 bikes to distribute to children in need. The Pastor, Joseph Stone, believes that every child should have a bike, and wants to help children get outside and enjoy their childhood. The bikes will be given to Aberdeen Elementary and Okolona Elementary Schools. The Pastor credits the church members for making this possible. This initiative aims to provide presents for children who may not receive anything for Christmas and encourage outdoor play. The church's goal is to bless the community with this act of generosity.
