Ride For The Unreached

700 Miles | September 13-27, 2026

Raising Awareness and Funds for Work among the Unreached.

No Person Left Unreached.

Of the 8.3 billion people on the planet today, more than 3.3 billion have little or no exposure to the gospel. Many live within people groups with no church, no bible, no believers and no one to witness the message of God’s saving love through Jesus Christ. Yet the church and believers spend only a tiny fraction of their resources among unreached people groups. Ride For The Unreached is committed to using 100% of the funds raised to make a strategic impact on reaching those with no access to the Gospel.

Nathan Hunt

Hi, I’m Nathan Hunt, a DTS Director with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Idaho. I’m passionate about discipling and equipping young people to grow in their faith and impact the world.
This year, I’m riding 711 miles to raise support for unreached people—communities with little to no access to the message of Jesus. This challenge combines two of my passions, cycling and the gospel.

I’m supported every step of the way by my wonderful wife, Maci, and our newborn daughter, Isla. Thank you for being part of this ride, and along the journey I hope you’re inspired to continue helping the gospel reach the ones who haven’t heard!
