As the May 15th signup deadline approaches, we’re excited to finalize the team roster for Front Range FREEDOM Tour 2013. We’re also excited to know how many of you are passionate about fighting human trafficking and would like to do the tour, but it’s just logistically not possible. You’re in a different part of the […]

Earlier this week I got to do one of my favorite things. The staff at Lesher Middle School invited me to talk to their kids about hope and dreams. This event included a unique element. Graphic recorder Karina Mullen from ConverSketch was also invited to interpret my message. Karina had what seemed to me to […]

This morning I spent a few minutes on Skype with my friend Paul from Venture Expeditions. The Venture guys are excited about their upcoming Love Does Tour and their partnership with Bob Goff and Restore International to provide justice and education to children in Uganda. A few of our friends are reuniting on that ride, […]

Last time I told you about Alycia’s choice to do a difficult task. She knocked. God opened the door. She stepped boldly and courageously through the door and into the opportunity. If I’m honest with myself, I have this sense that lately I spend a lot of time in front of open doors. Jesus said, “Ask and […]

My friend Alycia is in Sierra Leone this week. She arranging micro-finance opportunities and working to connect on-the-ground organizations that help kids who live in absolutely deplorable conditions. She organized and financed the trip. It’s a difficult, dangerous place for a white woman to travel alone. She might have selected a group mission trip to […]

Becky and I spent a big chunk of the weekend talking to people about Front Range Freedom Tour 2013. Lots of people stopped to chat. Most had a similar reaction: I’d like to do something like that, but it looks too hard. It would take so much time. I couldn’t afford it. You get the […]

About a year ago I started seriously preparing for IJM Freedom Tour 2012. I’d never heard of International Justice Mission. I sort of knew, in the distant background, about issues of human trafficking. But there was much I didn’t know. I didn’t know… there are places where a man can order a child for sex […]

A couple of days ago (It’s Too Hard!) I challenged us to re-think the notion that serving others is supposed to be easy. One of my role models for this lesson is my friend Una. I first wrote about her several months ago when we rode together on IJM Freedom Tour 2012. Una grew up […]

Can I challenge us a bit as we begin a new week? I talked to several people over the weekend about U COUNT Front Range Tour 2013. Common comments went something like, “Riding 450 miles in a week seems like it would be really hard.” Well, yeah. There’s sweat and work and commitment involved in just about […]

Suppose you could bring hope and freedom to victims of sexual exploitation by riding your bike through beautiful country with a team of cool people. What could be better than that? On June 22, 2013, a team of about twenty cyclists will roll out of Fort Collins for U COUNT Front Range Tour 2013. We’ll […]

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed with blessings you couldn’t respond with anything except “Thank you” but “thank you” just wasn’t enough? That’s how Becky and I feel right now. We’ve been adopted in Carbondale, Memphis, Anguilla/Rolling Fork, and Jackson. People have caught the vision behind RICH’S RIDE and shared time, talent, and treasure with […]

We’re all so different, right? In the past four days I’ve spoken to: Folks from housing projects Kids in children’s church at a campus chapel Developmentally disabled adults Employees at a successful financial company Mentors for underprivileged inner-city kids learning character and life skills through golf Folks from an affluent suburban church Women in a […]
