Few people can say they've visited more than a couple countries in less than a year, but one Seventh-day Adventist has bicycled across eleven since last August in an 8,600-mile journey meant to spread the church's message of hope.
George Silva's trek began in his native Brazil, where the 49-year-old kicked up his bike stand in Boa Vista and pedaled through northern South America.

Silva pedaled or pushed -- once, for four hours straight after facing five flat tires in one afternoon -- his bike through most of Central America, cycling through several southern-tier states of the United States to arrive in Atlanta this morning.Around 10 a.m. local time, Silva was swarmed by Adventist Church members and delegates, many of them from Brazil, as he arrived at the Georgia Dome, where the church is holding its 59th General Conference Session until July 3.
Silva's journey to Atlanta is the seventh in a series of such trips, totaling more than 18,000 miles, that the cyclist and runner has embarked on since joining the Adventist Church in 1992.
