THE DREAM:
In the spring of 2019, friends Tom Balch and Dan Barnett took a ride down the Pacific Coast Highway in California. Over lunch they discussed Young Life's vision for reaching more kids in Africa and the Middle East with the hope and freedom that Jesus offers. They dreamed of connecting their shared passion for mission, adventure travel and motorcycling.
the vision
Out of this conversation, the Adventure Capital Ride incubated. A motorcycle ride around the Mediterranean Sea, visiting local believers and ministry partners, praying, sharing life stories and capturing those stories on film is just a part of this vision. In countries that ministry has yet to be established, meeting believers, learning about their faith journey and dreams for their countries will be an integral part of this adventure.
Raising ministry partners and financial resources is what this dream is about.
Morocco 10-day Ride Opportunity: Interested riders are invited to join us for celebratory, kick-off ride through Morocco, May 16-26, 2022. Riders will not only make meaningful connections with local people of faith, but bring their stories to the global Christian community.
