He invites us to \u2018run to win the prize\u2019 by organising handouts at the roadside as the riders pass by, during the Criterium or the Paris-Nice, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This summer, the Tour de France is a fantastic opportunity to hand out the flyer to as many people as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evangelist Pieret says: <em>\u201cPersonally, I\u2019ve never been interested in cycling races, but the Lord called me to use these opportunities to proclaim His Word.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the town of Vichy where we live is hosting one of the Tour de France stages.
