You’re here for the glory stories of the culture of life.
We’re here to tell you more.
Matthew 16:24-25 – “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”
Biking for Babies proclaims the dignity of human life by uniting cycling with the formation of young adults into missionary disciples of Jesus Christ.
Young adults undergo transformation by encountering Jesus through a lived experience of sacrificing their time and energy on behalf of the culture of life.
These sacrifices deepen their love for God and neighbor. They discover the spiritual truth that “losing their lives” (loving sacrificially) leads to fulfillment and joy.
Concretely, young adults volunteer for a 6-month, extra-curricular formation program where they:
- Join a small group of 8-12 for the duration of the program
- Develop 1-to-1 relationships with pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes
- Deepen their understanding of the needs of mothers in unplanned pregnancies
- Learn about the Gospel of life through educational and spiritual curriculum
- Fundraise for the mission by writing letters, making phone calls, giving parish talks, etc.
- Join prayer with physical sacrifice over thousands of miles of biking
- Share the Gospel of life and grow in virtue on a 600-mile biking mission trip
- Deliver money raised to their partnering pregnancy resource center
