Let us begin with the end in mind, thanking God for the last decade and prayerfully consider the next series of pedal strokes.
Thanks be to God for…
- …grace and inspiration.
- …our parents’ participation in Divine beauty and sacrifice.
- …the gift of our faith and family, without which we would not be here or know who we are.
- …the creation and establishment of Biking for Babies.
- …the 110 young men and women whom have dedicated their lives, beyond bikes and beyond borders, to transform the culture.
- …the Paraclete, our Blessed Mother, St. Michael and all the angels and saints in heaven who have protected us on (20,000+ miles across 20+ states) and off the road
- …the tireless and, often, thankless efforts of the individuals involved at pregnancy resource centers across the country.
- …the united efforts of individuals working together as the body of Christ to transform the culture and overcome disunity, disruption, distraction and division in our world.
- …the sacrificial offerings of hundreds of thousands of individuals who have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to further advance the ministerial efforts of our pregnancy resource centers.
- …the gift of life, created by love, for love, to love.
- …Christ’s witness, the perfecter of love.
- …every “yes” to His love.
- …every heart transformed.
Where do we go from here?
God is calling us to advance the line in the battle for souls. Our parents and grandparents poured out their hearts, leaving everything on the field, to protect and maintain the line. Now is the time for us, together, to pedal to victory.
In this battle, LOVE will triumphantly transform each and every one of us. Love, which requires vulnerability and sacrifice, will inevitably require us to take hits and get our hands dirty. Scripture reminds us to “not be afraid.” The battle is and will continue to be challenging, but the battle is not without hope, because God is with us and gives us every reason for our hope. Together, let us fight from beginning to end and, by God’s grace, advance from death to life.
Thank you for 10 years of a lifetime of memories… memories that some only have as a result of your dedicated efforts, a mother’s yes, and the beautiful individuals who surrounded the family with LOVE at a time where fear was a driving force.
As we prayerfully consider the Big.Hairy. Audacious.Goals God has in store for us, individually and as an organization over the next decade, we invite you to join us.
Please pray and fast for God’s will as we work to…
- …expand our reach.
- …establish stronger ties.
- …grow to new heights.
- …connect across borders, coast-to-coast.
- …and forever transform hearts and change history.
May Saint John Paul II’s words penetrate your heart in a profound way that leads to action: “Woe to you if you do not SUCCEED in defending life.” – S. JPII
Persevere and please don’t hesitate to reach out and share your ideas. All hands on deck!
United in the battle for Love,
Jimmy
