Fuller Center Bike Adventure
BackOn June 16th, ten riders dipped their tires in the Pacific at San Diego to launch a faith and purpose-driven journey of a lifetime. Over the next 8 weeks, they are riding coast-to-coast to promote the work of The Fuller Center for Housing until they conclude their trek in Savannah. Please get involved! Join the riders for a day or more on bike, help arrange a place along their route for them to stay and speak, or donate to help them raise their goal of $100,000. As a response to the national foreclosure crisis and the desperate need for affordable housing in the U. S. and around the world, we are serving Jesus Christ and our neighbors in need by supporting the rapidly expanding work of The Fuller Center for Housing, the new organization birthed by Habitat for Humanity's founder, Millard Fuller (whom we will meet in Americus, Georgia). The funds will be used for whichever Fuller Center project you as the rider chooses in the U.S. or overseas. An anonymous donor has already agreed to cover our expected costs for the trip – so every dollar raised will go straight to a Fuller Center project. Our 3,300 mile journey will take us through at least ten Fuller Center Covenant Partners as we go, putting our own hands and feet to work along the way. The trip promises to build homes and hope, raise dollars and awareness, speak of mission and of love. We will support our existing Fuller Center Covenant Partners, plant new groups, and attempt to raise $100,000 - all while growing in faith and love ourselves. Modeling our modern faith-based journey on the travels of the Jesus' early apostles, we seek to use our approximately 40 days of biking to strengthen and encourage our existing Fuller Center Covenant Partners and to spread the word to those who have not heard. As we strengthen and encourage others, we ourselves will be strengthened and grow in faith and love. Riders can expect to sweat and shout and pray; to climb and laugh and praise! For those who cannot ride, we are still in need of monetary donations, places to stay, speak, and eat along our route, deals on bike equipment, a large van for use, tents, and Gatorade mix. Everyone can find a way to contribute to our ride! Interested in helping or participating in this faith and service-oriented journey? Please browse the site and contact us. We are waiting to hear from you! In Christ's service, Ryan Iafigliola National Trip Leader bike@fullercenter.org 229.924.2900
