I don’t know what God has in store for myself and Biking for Babies in 2021, but I know I’m not missing it. He has done so much work through myself and through this organization, that there’s no way I can say no. This is something that I am called to do.
When we last left Griffin’s testimony, he had committed to year 3 with Biking for Babies, had just decided to take his turn on the bike for the National Ride, and had just quit his job at St. Bernard’s for a new opportunity. His “God doing His thing” count? 11. Let’s pick back up.

If the ride was impossible, if asking people for money made me so uncomfortable, and if the daily training and formation was sometimes too much, then why am I now so excited to ride again? Even after the ride, my “why” continues to grow, and after all of the struggles with training and fundraising, the only thing left is joy.”
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.
