The Word Of Life International founded by Rev. John & Felicia Udo-Okon put up a colorful welcoming to the South Bronx for Citi Bike, marking its 1000th site opening across the city. The popular New York City transportation and leisure bike lending system rode into Word of Life with a small and socially distant fanfare and new graffiti mural unveiled by Bronx-based award-winning artist and muralist Andre Trenier.
The bright and beautiful yellow, blue and green mural covering the entire building front is of the artist's wife riding a citibike.
Local City Council members, media and officials from Citibike were represented and spoke glowingly of the Ministry's immense contribution to the South Bronx community and beyond.
The Nigerian-born hosts, Rev. John and Rev. Felicia Udo-Okon have been serving the spiritual, physical and social needs of the community for over 20 years through their ministry, food pantry, social and medical outreach programs.
