So, in my last blog post before our applications close, I want to ask you one last time: will you join us in 2019? Discipline of using our God-given talents and graces is required; it is how we show God we love him and follow his commandments (Matthew 16:24). If your life lacks discipline for the glory of his Kingdom, I may know a few people willing to help.
I hope the March for Life fueled you for a fight to change the culture this year. Because legislation changes are necessary, and abortion clinics shutting down are gifts. But nothing will truly change if hearts aren’t changed.Help me, brothers and sisters, to change the heart of our world. Souls are at stake, including our own.
“Will you join me in following Him who calls us to action, who calls us to pick up our cross (or bike!)? Will you be like Peter and be a witness? Because make no mistake, you have been called, and He is waiting for a response.” Kevin’s reflection on SEEK19 leads into a universal call: not from Biking for Babies, but from Jesus Christ.
“God is calling you to prepare your heart for the day when you meet Him face to face. What will He be able to say about your preparation? Will you be like the “good and faithful servant” who has used their talents wisely, or will you hide your talents away, allowing the world to continue on its current trajectory (Matthew 25-30)? The choice is yours…”
“It was the first time in my life where my body could not do what I was asking it to do…I pray that you find a way to break free from the comforts this world offers and walk the path Christ invites us to walk. I will say this: if your cross lies with Biking for Babies, I know some very joy-filled people that will help you carry it.” Kevin’s reflection on his first year with B4B and Luke 9:23.
“I reflect on this past year, and I laugh at how our plans are always overruled by God’s. Even more hilarious is that I never stop planning, and neither does He. The path that God is leading me, my family, and Biking for Babies down is clearer now more than ever. He wants our mission to be bigger and louder. He’s bringing us places we have never been before, showing us avenues to increase our impact at exponential rates. In the business of saving lives, we are never satisfied with our results because every soul counts.”
In this first period of formation, the young adults:
With eyes now opened to the need and Christ-centered solutions of problems, these young adults are sent forth as “missionaries” into the rest of the formation program and into the rest of their lives, committing to live with the truth of the Gospel of life as the lens through which they see every relationship, every decision, and the world at large.
