“When I’m talking about Biking for Babies’ core mission – changing the culture of life – there is never a doubt in my mind that our missionaries must be tested, stretched, and conditioned by every sweat-drenched mile. No, it is not for the faint of heart, but it is for Christians looking to make an impact – it is for missionaries.”
Nikki reflects on our 2018 financial year, which includes the largest gift to PRCs we’ve ever given, plus some amazing and unique stories of lives saved through our missionaries.
“As Christians, we need to SERVE! Certainly we need to serve the people around us, but we especially need to serve the most vulnerable and defenseless—the unborn. While I rode for a week, our PRCs serve women and children every single day. Where will you make your impact? I’m telling you the joy is real and it is worth it.”
“We may not be able to completely understand every woman who walks into a pregnancy resource center for help, but we can relate to their needs by continuing to train ourselves to sacrifice for them and their babies.” First year missionary Mariclare shares the unique perspective of one of three siblings on the national ride this year.
Here we were, Biking for Babies, existing exactly where we need to be – in the storm. Our society, both “pro-life” and “pro-choice” have closed the shutters and doors as the storm that is abortion traps women and their families outside. As for Pregnancy Resource Centers, Biking for Babies, and our supporters, we will trudge in the rain and live in the storm. With outstretched hands and open hearts we will reach scared, scarred, and helpless women and their families.

I have biked 7 years, equaling close to 7,000 miles ridden on behalf of Christ and pregnancy resource centers across the nation. But there is something you must know about me: I am not a cyclist.
At that point in time a girl from the group asked this question to her friends: How can we as Catholics preach a pro-life stance, but then we don’t actually do anything to facilitate these women to be pro-life? I asked God in my head, “You’re making this my job, aren’t you?” It was almost sarcastic. I then looked down at my phone… And I watched it die in my hand…
On July 15, 2017, around 100 people gathered deep in a park in St. Louis, surrounded by balloons, laughing children, and lots of trees. Some of them had ridden over 100 miles that day, some were just sweaty because it was warm outside. The 2017 Biking for Babies Celebration of Life had begun.

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.
