More than just a bike trip...
More than just a bike trip...
A journey that goes deeper than the miles.
A journey that goes deeper than the miles.
Your guides, Kyle and Beau, are veteran missionaries with decades of experience in church planting, leadership development, and missionary care. This trip offers far more than adventure—you’ll see what God is doing in Western Europe, visit a growing church plant and a school for Missionary Kids, pray for local ministries, spend daily time in God’s Word, and worship as you take in the beauty of His creation.
Our hope is that you’ll return with a deeper vision of missions and a clearer sense of your role—whether through prayer, encouragement, or support. We also want you to grow in your awareness of how to be a faithful witness wherever you go, living out of the overflow of your heart. Because in the end, the real adventure is deepening your walk with God and following wherever He leads.
Each day, Kyle will share devotionals from his book Overflowing: Ministry and Missions That Flow From the Heart to encourage and refresh your soul. This is a time to step away from the norm and be replenished.
For me (Kyle), motorcycle trips have been a rhythm of renewal since 2009. Every year, those days on the bike—spent in prayer, soaking in God’s creation, worshiping Him, journaling without distraction, and sharing meaningful conversations with Christian friends—become the spiritual highlight of my year.
We pray this will be a spiritual retreat that leaves your soul refreshed and energized.
