As a young boy many years ago, I read the famous book “The Old Man and the Sea.” Now, at 70 years of age, I’m the oldest of our riding team. We have been named the “See Train” because we are the slowest of the four riding teams on this tour. We get to see things. Thus the play on words in my title. I am the old man, and we are the See Train.
This March and April, we are excited to introduce you to our 2023 Ends of the Earth Cycling Ambassadors. They have been featured on our social media channels, and now they will be featured on the Stories of Impact Blog in two instalments. These are 11 remarkable friends of the ministry who are out serving in unique ways – making much of Jesus on and off the bike – inviting others to #PrayPedalRepeat with us.

It has already been more than 350 days of full-scale war with Russia. It can still be dark, loud and difficult for us, but God is removing fear. When we look back at 2022, we understand how faithful and good our Lord Jesus has been to us. God has lead us through a very stormy year. We faced new challenges like rationed and disrupted electricity. Thanks to you and other supporters, CCX was able to serve students with a fully functioning student center in Lviv that operates on generators with power banks and your prayers for our safety. Our team has also worked hard all year helping refugees and their families with humanitarian aid.
One million dollars raised to promote and resource global youth ministries is testimony of what God alone can do through a group of cyclists!
I’m not sure how you’d understand that statement, but it almost certainly isn’t what you’d think. It’s just that when I was initially approached to participate in a 300 mile bike tour across Florida for youth in Bulgaria, my first thought was “why would anyone spend so much time sitting on a bike seat?” But my second trumped the first.
“So, you guys are a fundraising ministry?” This question is very common in our line of work. It used to bother me but now I recognize what we do at Ends of the Earth Cycling is quite complex. Until someone comes on a tour with us, it really seems like our primary goal is fundraising […]
I was taken aback. Really? A cycling ministry? I just did not understand how cycling could fit into God’s great plan.
