On May 24th, we will be leaving for a 70 day motorcycle trip around the country.
Why?... to empty and fill.
Our trip idea was born out of dreams of adventure, motorcycles and the open road. Soon we will both be transitioning into something new, and it's time for us to hit the refresh button, asking God to take our plans as we offer our lives as a living sacrifice to him. Just as we will be emptying and filling our gas tanks along the way, we also desire to empty ourselves to God asking him to fill us with his love and wisdom. As we attempt to focus and dedicate ourselves to the Lord throughout this journey, we hope to interact with many people from different backgrounds who are willing to share about their lives and their communities with us.
We would love to see you… host us for a night (we hate hotels).
We have identified approximately 30 locations along our route where we hope to stop for rest and fellowship. Each location along our designated route is very important to the success of our trip. It will provide us not only with much needed rest but also grant us the opportunity to learn from our hosts what is happening in their lives, churches and communities. It is our hope not to be wandering travelers but rather invited guests. This will rely upon the willingness of individuals to open their homes and share their thoughts. We want to gain our understanding not as nameless, distant observers, but instead as friends around a dinner table. To achieve this we are hoping to connect with potential hosts for each location who could house us for a night. We are asking that our hosts provide us with three necessities:
- A meal
- A place to sleep (whether it be a backyard or a couch)
- A willingness to discuss their thoughts over coffee
