I do hope that you enjoy your visit here. For those who have visited this website before, you will probably find some additions and changes since your last visit. One of the immediate changes is a brand new logo. I decided to change the logo slightly by including a recumbent bicycle instead of an upright bicycle on the tenth anniversary of this website on October 19th, 2008. I made the transition of traveling around on a recumbent instead of an upright bicycle back in 2000.
This website has been given almost 440 awards from agencies, individuals, ministries, and organizations from 27 countries around the world. There is almost 1,000 pages of information inside using almost 300 MegaBytes of space. Here are some
comments
that readers have sent me. For website award program evaluators, here is a special
message
for you. To check out what is new on the website, check out

As mentioned on the "HOME" page, navigation throughout the site should be quite easy for you. There is a pretty extensive Site Map Menu and the website has it's own search engine. At the bottom of each page there are navigation arrows that will help you navigate through the almost 1,000 pages on this website. There is also a button at the bottom of each page that will allow you to jump to the top of that page without scrolling.
Each chapter (section) has an index page. Before you check out the individual chapters (sections), would you please check out the two introduction pages after this page. The first "intro" page shows stats for my missionary travels by bicycle. On the second "intro" page, four of the newest website awards that this site has been given are displayed.
To find information about my "missionary travels by bicycle" around the United States please go to "Bike Journey". Since 1993, I have ridden 210,823 miles (337,317 KM) as of September 28, 2011.
I was hoping to start Mission Trip 32 around Monday, February 13th, 2012 from Baton Rouge, Louisiana but that didn't happen. The reason for this is that I had the chance to get some medical needs taken care of. I'm hoping that the delay will only last a couple of months. The way that it looks, I will be starting on my next trip either towards the end of May or the beginning of June. I did hope to start around March 27th, which would have been the nineteenth anniversary of the start of my ministry, but I am going to miss that date also.

Subject Matter of website: bicycle touring for the beginner; my personal testimony; the 18+ years of travel with my ministry promoting social action (expressing one's religious beliefs through personal action) and volunteerism; the prevention of child sexual exploitation on the internet; and religion (in a non-threatening manner that includes help guidelines for prayer and a place to post prayers).
To get a better understanding on who I am, what I am doing, how it all started, and what is my message in a brief form, here is an animated flipbook that I created through some new software that was developed by
Kvi Soft
. The flipbook answers the thirteen most commonly asked questions about me and my ministry. Clicking on the graphic below will open up the flipbook in another window.
Originally, the selected questions were some of the ones that were in a handout flyer that I gave out. Since I first started handing them out in 2003, I estimate that I passed out 5,000+ handouts (this doesn't count the ones that ushers handed out at churches). The handout flyer is supposed to be 2-sided and tri-folded. Information is current to September 19, 2010.
The flyer is distributed here in PDF format (61 KBytes). You need Adobe Reader to view it. If you don't have Adobe Reader installed on your computer, here is a link to a download site.
