To aid clergy in their service to their people, Mosaic began purchasing bicycles for them in 2003. Usually, clergy have to walk everywhere they go. Much of their day is spent walking within their village or to neighboring villages. Giving them bicycles reduces their travel time, which increases the scope of the community they can serve.
"To designate a hell is not, of course, to tell us anything about how to extract people from that hell, how to moderate hell's flames. Still, it seems a good in itself to acknowledge, to have enlarged, one's sense of how much suffering caused by human wickedness there is in the world we share with others. Someone who is perennially surprised that depravity exists, who continues to feel disillusioned (even incredulous) when confronted with evidence of what humans are capable of inflicting in the way of gruesome, hands-on cruelties upon other humans, has not reached moral or psychological adulthood. No one after a certain age has the right to this kind of innocence, of superficiality, to this degree of ignorance, or amnesia." (Regarding the Pain of Others, p. 114) Susan Sontag
