Review the Bike for Bibles Christmas Special online

What would keep someone on a bike for 1000km, over nine days? How do 47 different people get along as a group – some teens,  others pushing 70; some competitive, others happy just to ride? And what makes a whole army of volunteers, donors and supporters so eager to help  every way they can?

Follow the Bible Society’s Bike For Bibles team as they ride through country NSW to raise funds for literacy and other Bible Society projects.

This half-hour Christmas TV special is about the people, purpose and passion behind “Bike For Bibles” – the fundraising activity of Bible Society Australia, now in its 27^th year. Learn what the “roadies” do, witness the welcome that the team gets in small country towns, and see why BFB is as much about big hearts as it is about strong muscles.

Since the inaugural ride in 1984, many thousands of cyclists, road crew, volunteers and supporters have raised more than $12million for a wide range of Bible Society projects worldwide. These projects have helped with literacy, health and hygiene, social development, and – through it all – the provision of Bibles to many who would not otherwise be able to own or engage with the Word.

Come share the journey with the riders and crew on this Bike For Bibles ride, hear their stories and watch the very special ties that bind them all – riders, supporters, crew  and townspeople – as one family with one purpose: to do all they can to spread the Word, and get others to life’s  “finish line” along with them.
