MEET THE CREW
Introducing, the Family...
At Ends of the Earth Cycling, we want you to know where your donations are going and how they are being used. The Ends Cycling CREW members are missionaries that raise their own support through churches and individuals like yourselves - no monies raised from cycling tours goes to them. 90% of all funds/donations from cycling tours go directly toward impacting youth around the world in Jesus name! The other 10% helps to fund the admin for our parent organization, New International (NI); a not-for-profit which, in all honesty, helps us do what we do even better. Donations can be made to specific Ends Cycling Missionaries below.
