Partner With Us
The purpose of the ride is to raise money in order to purchase motorcycles for United Methodist pastors in Mozambique. Remote areas of Mozambique lack good roads motorcycles, which are the most common and practical form of transportation. One of these bikes costs $2,000. If you want to partner with Missouri bikers to help purchase motorbikes for Mozambican pastors, there are two ways to give.
