RegisterWe invite you to join us as we celebrate the end of our month-long fundraiser to help fund our Refuge on the Rock orphanage in Guatemala!
About Us:
Paradise Bound Ministries began working in Guatemala in 1997, and we are privileged to serve alongside local Guatemalan people who are passionate about reaching Guatemala for Christ. Together, we’ve developed several village outreach opportunities that all point people to Jesus!
All funds raised from this race will go directly to support "Refuge on the Rock" (previously named Open Doors Orphanage). Refuge on the Rock welcomed it’s first child in 2011. Since then, more than 150 vulnerable children have found safe refuge inside its walls. Our dedicated staff pours into these little ones to provide the highest quality care and the love, tenderness, and respect every child deserves.

Zeeland is a province of the Netherlands consisting of islands and peninsulas interconnected by the dams and bridges of the Delta Works (Deltawerken). Translated into English, Zeeland literally means "Sea Land" because that's basically what it is. The capital city is Middelburg. The area is very flat making it ideal terrain for cycling.
