Incredible Stories of Faith and Impact

Zoya narrowly escaped being trafficked when her parents were approached with a proposition: a couple was looking to purchase a girl to be their daughter.

“We are ambassadors for Christ!” (1 Corinthians 5:20) This August, we are excited to introduce you to our 2024 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 installments.

We live in a broken world where it's too east to find individuals who are lost, searching, and without hope. In the action sports world ​(surfing, skateboarding, wakeboarding) this couldn’t be more true. The action sports community is full of negativity: drugs, alcohol, partying, and rebellion. Roughly 120 million youth around the globe are a part of the action sports community. For our friends at Ride Nature, this is their mission field.

We were hoping that this fellowship will lead and equip Macedonian 16-19 year old young ladies to become women of character, integrity, strength and wisdom. It was a very successful day and the girls LOVED IT.

In May 2022, Matt & Jessica faithfully came on the COGAP2022. They prayed and raised funds for a ministry in Latin America called INCA LINK.  During this gravel bike ride, they learned a lot about the ministry from the representative on the tour with us, Luke S.  Every time Luke shared testimonies, prayer themes and stories, you could truly see the wheels turning in the minds of the Crossons.
