Riding and Serving – FondoCross – Pace lines and serving.

Many wonder how riding bicycles and serving Christ go together. I have found that riding and serving go together very well and there is great synergy between the two just like the amazing energy of a pace line. A pace line at its simplest form is simply a line of riders sharing the front, wind-blocking position while the rest of the line follows and provides energy to the leader. The pace leader changes out the back position as the line continues on. Cycling and introducing Christ became very clear as a 20 plus cycling team clad riders participated in a benefit ride and I was asked many time who is this team? I was even asked more questions the next day when I met one of the questioners at my office locker room after my morning commute.

One if not the most important aspects of FondoCross is utilizing cycling to introduce and stimulate the conversation of Christ. While our key benefiting ministry is supporting church planting in South Asian Area of West London FondoCross looks for the opportunity to share Christ in all that we do. As FondoCross continues to develop I pray that the gift of riding will be utilized to introduce many more to Christ. These introductions may come at many points form training rides, State Side gatherings or even the Gran Fondo from Edinburgh to London, either way I pray that the our togetherness focused on Him will point others to Him.
