Youth in developing countries face disproportionately more challenges, obstacles and injustices than their peers in the United States. While most 8 year olds in the U.S. are going to school and playing video games in the afternoons, the same aged boy or girl in Nepal is being trafficked into the brothels of India.
The main forms of trafficking are for the purpose of sexual exploitation, forced labour and removal of organs.
We give people who want to change the world an opportunity to address these types of injustices by bringing the hope of the Gospel to global youth. Through our ministry, we provide resources for supplying clean water, alleviating hunger, prevention of human trafficking, funding youth ministry training, and transforming lives for His glory.
Since 2012, God has worked through Ends Cycling to provide clean water, alleviate hunger, prevent human trafficking, train youth ministers, and transform the lives of youth in 25+ countries for His glory.
Although we focus on uplifting the lives of global youth, ministry also happens in the U.S. on every tour!
Whether it is a virtual bike ride where families can ride together or ministering to youth along our tour route via our host churches, youth are the future today!
On most of our tours kids 12 and under can join and serve for free. Alongside their parents, these youth grow closer to the Lord and expand their knowledge of global missions through prayer, awareness, fundraising and a whole lot of fun! All while riding a bike or serving as Support Staff.
In countries like Romania the effects of Communism in rural areas still lingers. Through your participation, youth with little-to-no education, who are the most susceptible, are being kept from the hands of traffickers. Through our tours, God has used participants to help orphans in places like Macedonia and Ukraine to have exceptional life-giving opportunities through family-oriented environments. We have ridden on behalf of other countries such as Bulgaria, Poland, and Spain where youth are being impacted by outdoor ministries, English classes, and youth camps in Jesus’ Name.
In countries like Egypt, Guinea Bissau, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe, some of the struggles youth face are pornography, child labor and prostitution. Many children are dying in these areas due to H.I.V. and other illnesses. Children take on family responsibilities at a young age, often quitting school to help with preparing meals and water, caring for livestock and gardens, and watching younger children. Through you, we see Churches being planted, Youth Workers being trained, clean water wells being drilled and so much more!
Cambodia, Georgia, India, Myanmar, Philippines, Nepal, and Thailand are some of the countries we have ridden for in the past. Some of the struggles that youth face are human trafficking, Christian persecution, lack of youth worker resources, extreme poverty and parents selling their children to traffickers for extra cash. Over the years, lives have been changed by equipping youth workers who minister in the schools, in slums and other places in India, training college students in the Philippines in biblical studies, and helping displaced youth through youth homes abroad.
There are many ways to get involved. We hope that you will join a bicycling tour to fellowship with us and explore the United States. Your contributions through tour registrations, pledges, donations, and product purchases will greatly help youth ministries globally.
Join a tour and exercise your faith physically and spiritually as you #PrayPedalRepeat on bicycling tours that have global impact!
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.

God can work through the strangest of things… If you were to ask me, “What is a Virtual Bike Ride?” you would not be the first. I had heard of riding indoors because it is snowing outside, but a virtual bike ride that impacts youth around the world? Who knew that was a thing!

Shanti was terrified that her daughters would have to endure a life of exploitation like hers. Where they live in Nepal, it is extremely dangerous for girls, as they are frequently sold into sexual slavery or forced labor due to the low value placed on girls; combined with rampant poverty. Having no way to repay a loan taken out to send her husband overseas for work, Shanti feared she would need to leave her daughters...
