Of Wind and Life
Many of my friends have asked “What did you learn spiritually from your coast-to-coast ride on your bicycle?”. Great question. The answer wasn’t as evident in the moment on the ride, but I would get glimpses of it as I went along. A few weeks after returning, it was as evident as the heat of Texas in the summertime. From … Continue reading

Why the Coast2Coast Ride?
“It’s not about the bike”, nor is it about who is on the bike. It IS about oral learners and what T4 Global is attempting to do, working with non-readers in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Week 1 From Christian’s Perspective
After a week on the road I have decided that I thoroughly enjoy traveling by bike. We have ridden 600 miles this week and it has felt more like 100. The whole process is exploration and revelation. I am seeing things I have never seen before. And you never pass the same thing twice. On a bike you don’t just … Continue reading

Day 4 and reflections on Day 3 Gathering in Yakima
