Bike Across America 2012

I first began dreaming of riding a bicycle across the United States as a high school student in the late 1980’s.  Now, in 2012, that dream is taking shape!  Here is my tentative route…

This summer I will bicycle across the United States—from Washington to Connecticut—in part as a personal challenge, but also to build relationships with congregations and communities and to talk about the vast mission field that exists on our nation’s college and university campuses.  Not only is campus ministry important in a young Christian’s faith formation and in raising up leaders for the church, it is also vital in reaching out with the love and power of Jesus to young adults who have no connection to the body of Christ.  I will set out Saturday, June 2 from the Puget Sound at Anacortes, Washington and reach my destination on the Atlantic coast near East Lyme, Connecticut, by August 5.

Help me pedal with purpose!
