It’s that time of year–pregnancy help organization partnership applications are now open! [Click here to apply.]
Partnering with Biking for Babies offers a meaningful avenue for pregnancy help organizations (PHOs) to deepen their mission and contribute to the formation of young adults as missionary disciples. These partnerships provide value on several fronts: for the PHO, for the young adults, and for the wider culture of life.
First, through partnership with Biking for Babies, a PHO gains financial support, advocacy, and visibility. PHOs receive not only raised funds and awareness of their work, but also a young adult “missionary” paired with them to share their story, pray for their ministry, and advocate locally and nationally. This helps the PHO remain sustainable, amplifies its reach in the community, and creates fresh opportunities for telling stories of lives saved and lived.
For the young adult participants, the partnership offers a pathway into missionary discipleship—moving beyond volunteering into formation, community and advocacy. They are immersed in a program that builds virtue, community, and spiritual depth through small-group formation, a “National Ride”, and collaboration with a PHO. In doing so, PHOs serve as frontline formation partners, providing real-life exposure to the culture of life, giving testimonies and being anchors for the young missionaries as they grow in faith and purpose.
Here’s the process for a PHO to apply for partnership:
- Submit the annual Partnership Application by February 2 and begin the vetting process. [link]
- In the meantime, PHOs can recruiting their own missionary, using resources such as these. See the value of a local missionary here.
- Once accepted, the PHO will be connected with a young adult missionary.
- The PHO then invests in the partnership, sharing about their partnered missionary and engaging in relationship building, prayer, advocacy, and potentially the center-to-center education program.
By engaging in such a partnership, a PHO not only strengthens its operational and promotional capacity, but also takes an active role in shaping young people who will live out missionary discipleship in their future vocations and communities.
It truly becomes a win-win: the PHO advances its life-affirming mission and helps form the next generation of disciple-leaders committed to love, service, and the Gospel of life.
