Do you have bicyclists at your church? Invite them to be involved in ministry together. Here are a few ideas:

“¢ Many cyclists are already riding for various good causes: diabetes and cancer research, to support the Arthritis Foundation, and many others. Support them financially and with prayer as they train and ride in these events. Sponsor a cycling team that wears jerseys with the church logo. Promote the events to get more people to ride for these causes. Show up and cheer along the course.

“¢ Members of Northeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, started a bicycling group with a nucleus of road and mountain bike riders from the church. They have built intentional community with one another and reached out to cyclists who do not have a church home or relationship with Christ.

“¢ Each week bicyclists at Newsong Church, based in Irvine, California, ride their bikes to local parks and distribute sack lunches and build relationships with people in the homeless community.

There is no doubt that we at The Solomon Foundation really believe in this movement and that we put our resources and energy to work every day to help the person in a hard and resistant urban environment, the ministry volunteer in a rural church virtually invisible to the world outside of its community, the preacher trying to figure out how to connect more effectively to the community while lifting up the name of Jesus, and the church leadership wanting to reach out to new communities through multi-site. We don’t just believe in this movement; we believe in you!
