Sponsor ChrisChristian Encounter, or "The Ranch" is a wonderful program that impacts young people in powerful ways. The students live at the ranch where they have access to God centered counseling, high school education, prayer, and a huge amount of love.
The Agony Ride is one of the most beautiful examples of true love that I have ever experienced. Regular people go out and ride hard for 24 hours, putting themselves through incredible hardship, exhaustion, and pain. Many of the students have never experienced unselfish love, but at the Agony Ride, students see the selfless love of the riders. Each dollar we raise helps allow the Ranch to continue transforming lives.

You did it! What an accomplishment! We love you.
Almost there!!! 🙌
Four minutes at Vinton? Looped at Beckwourth? You must have smelled the barn! You're doing great. Love you.
“He rose his bike in the nighttime? You mean he stayed awake the whole night?! That’s amazing, Uncle Christopher!”
It's light again! You're doing an amazing ride! Hang in there!
You are doing a fantastic job! Way to go!
Hey, Chris! We're so totally impressed by you! Rooting for you and praying for you! Sami and family
Chris! You're killing it man, was just tracking your progress. I hope that as hard as the agony ride is that you are encouraged that it is for an amazing cause and that you can enjoy every moment of it. Be safe tonight man!
Chris, Heather and I have been praying for you today! Praying safety and strength! Thank you for riding for the kids st the ranch!
Looking good! Praying for stamina and focus! Love you!
Go go go! We're tracking your progress and cheering in Portland. Love you! (Don't read the message I just sent Jonathan.) ;)
Chris Palmer, YOU DID IT! You may never know how great of an impact your sacrifice has made this weekend! One thing you need to know, it is worth it! So proud of you my friend!
Keep pedaling...keep pedaling... you thought you were done pedaling? Nope. Pedal to the metal! Also, Matthew 17:20 talks about having faith as small as a mustard seed to move mountains? Yeah, that too... keep moving that mountain....
Christopher, you are awesome! We're cheering you on from afar! Keep up the amazing riding, one push of the pedal at a time. You can do it, you're in the final hours of your ride!
You're cruising! Keep focusing on why you're riding. You're enabling a change in the life of some very special kids!
Good Morning! Keep smiling my friend!! Or crying cause you miss me so much 😉 Whatever you do, just keep pedalling!!!
On our way to support you and the rest of the amazing bikers. Keep it up Chris! You are almost halfway! Such proud!!
Getting ready for bed and thinking about you and praying for you. You’re inspiring my oldest - he’s now talking about spending a summer with you so he can train for agony and ride with you. That’s positive role modeling and I’m so glad my kids have you to look up to!
Be careful tonight ... stay alert and safe! We're proud of you.
Last year, you said my prayer for you was too long! So, this year, I decided to stay in North Carolina where I could pray for you as long as I want! 😉 Miss you! Thanks for changing lives!
Chris!! You got this man! Way to act out Christa lobe in a tangible way! “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” Romans 8:18
Can't wait till I'm riding with you! Kick butt!
Wow - you are really doing an amazing ride ... your dreams and beyond! Way to go. Keep staying safe! Praying for you to the ride's end. Love you.
Keep pedaling...keep pedaling... you thought you were done pedaling? Nope. Pedal to the metal! Also, Matthew 17:20 talks about having faith as small as a mustard seed to move mountains? Yeah, that too... keep moving that mountain....
Hey Chris. Great job! I’m expecting 376 from you. I pray for continued strength and endurance. I think you can beat your brother. Take care my friend and thanks for riding!
A new day is beginning. The sun is rising over the hills. And you are still going strong. You are proof of what His love can do. It is shinning down on you and filling you, pushing you to conquer your goals. Just a few more hours. Your goal is in sight.
Just checked the weather and it looks like a great night for a bike ride! :-) Love you ... keep safe!
Also: praying for stamina and especially safety as you ride tonight. Love you.
Go Chris, Go!!! You can do this! I know you’re tired and getting worn out, but God didn’t give you a spirit of fear or timidity. You have the spirit of the Lord, full of light and celestial strength! You are a warrior with gifts so strong that it takes 24 hours of riding to truly exhaust your reserve. Don’t give up. -Kali So proud of you. I know you’re hurting at this time, but you’re doing great things for these kids. Love you, man -Chuck
Keep up the good work man! You're doing an amazing job! Praying for strength and endurance for you. See you in a few hours!
Looking good! Praying for stamina and focus! Love you!
You've got this! We're so proud! You get all the treats when you get home! We love you!! ❤️🐶❤️🐶
