Organiser's description

Join us for an afternoon stroll or your fastest 3.1 miles ever in support of Guatemala Missions! Runners, Walkers, Strollers and four-legged family are all invited to attend.

YOU MIGHT BE THINKING "FOR GUATEMALA?" ROMANS 8:31 TELLS US THAT "IF GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?" THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF GUATEMALA HAVE NUMEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES "AGAINST" THEM SUCH AS EXTREME POVERTY, HOMELESSNESS, ADDICTION AND FOOD INSECURITY. DESPITE THESE THINGS, GOD IS STILL FOR GUATEMALA AND ITS PEOPLE, WHO RELY HEAVILY ON THEIR FAITH AND JOY IN HIM.

A TEAM OF 10 WILL BE HEADING TO THE LAND OF ETERNAL SPRING IN JUNE 2024; TO BUILD HOMES, PACK MEALS, PROVIDE SUPPORT AND SHOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST TO THE PEOPLE OF GUATEMALA.

ALL FUNDS RAISED WILL BE SENT DIRECTLY TO CATALYST RESOURCES INTERNATIONAL WHO WILL BE HOSTING OUR TEAM. THE FUNDS WILL COVER BUILDING MATERIALS, FEEDING PROGRAM SUPPLIES AND ANY NEEDS THEY NEED MET WITHIN THEIR PROGRAMS, INCLUDING MIMI'S HOUSE ORPHANAGES.

Our race will be held at Millennium Park in Danville, KY at 2pm on April 21, 2024 Parking is available at the large pavilion closest to the softball fields.
