Benjamin HARRIS
28 years old
Cyclist | Grizzly Man

Benjamin has been involved with the Wesley Foundation over the course of the past nine years. The impact that the Wesley Foundation has brought to him is evident in his positive attitude in life. He loves athletics, such as weight lifting, cycling, and running. The Cycle of Hope is the perfect mission to him: a chance to make a difference in people’s lives as well as go on an unforgettable journey. Training alone has challenged him physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Benjamin is interested in working further as a missionary. He is interested in the fields of Linguistics and Non-Profit management. He loves helping other people and he always seizes the opportunities to do so, believing the words of Jesus that “whatever you did for the least of these, you have done to Me.”
