This is my second year participating in the Agony Ride, a 24-hour cycling event that raises money for Christian Encounter Ranch. Christian Encounter is a place where teens who have experienced abuse, trauma, or other difficult circumstances can find hope and healing in a Christ-centered community. Last year I rode 107 miles and learned that I could ride much farther than I thought. More importantly, I experienced God’s faithfulness throughout the ride. There were moments when I felt exhausted, yet He continued to give me the strength to keep going. Christian Encounter has become a meaningful part of my life. I have been attending church there for the past two years and was baptized there last fall. During that time, I’ve had the opportunity to build personal relationships with several of the students. Getting to know them has given me an even greater appreciation for the courage and vulnerability it takes to come to the Ranch. This year my goal is to ride 200 miles. I would be grateful for your prayers and, if you feel led, for your financial support to help Christian Encounter continue serving these young people. -Micah

Wow!! You did such a great job! You are an inspiration to me and your peers! Keep up the Kingdom work! "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God". Micah 6:8

I loved getting to be there to cheer you on at the start and as you hit the 100 mile mark! How did you see God at work during your 201 miles? Rest well today!
Way to go, Micah! What you’re doing is not easy but so important. Thanks for giving of yourself.
Way to go Bubba! I’m so proud of you and for your sacrificial giving. I know you enjoy it, but I also see that it’s grueling and not easy to ride SO long. I’m praying that you will tangibly feel God’s presence as you ride through the night and that he sustains you as you push toward your goal. I love you!!
Look at you go buddy. I am SO proud of you! What a cool way to hive back to The Ranch while doung something you love (at least for the first 50 miles. It might be a bit mote grueling as you go on.) I am praying for strength & stamina for both your mind & body as you push towards the 100 mile mark. You can do hard things and show the students that they are loved!
