Event summary
Join us for the Pastors for Norway virtual distance challenge, running from May 1st to July 31st, 2023! This uplifting event, hosted by St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Troy, Madison, is designed to raise crucial funds to support the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod’s mission of sending four new pastors to Norway. As the Christian Church faces challenges from the State Church of Norway, these dedicated pastors will help rekindle faith and provide humanitarian assistance, especially in light of the increased needs arising from the influx of Ukrainian refugees.
Participants are invited to contribute to a collective goal of walking or running a staggering 4,308 miles—the distance from St. Louis to Oslo, Norway! This exciting challenge resembles a combined 5K format, and prizes await the top individual and group participants who log the most miles. Get involved, make a difference, and be a part of this meaningful journey to support faith, hope, and humanitarian efforts in Norway!

Organiser's description
The Christian Church in Norway has been pressured into submission by the State Church of Norway which does not place its faith in the teachings of Holy Scripture. The Christian Church is the greatest humanitarian provider and source of hope for those in need. The need has increased with the displacement of Ukrainian refugees into different areas of Europe including Norway. The need for the life giving words of the Bible and assistance for the poor and needy is the reason that the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is sending 4 new pastors to help start and maintain congregations in Norway.
St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Troy IL will be hosting a virtual distance challenge in July to help raise funds for the efforts of the new pastors heading to Norway to help rebuild the church and assist in humanitarian efforts. The distance challenge will be like a combined 5k, except the distance we are hoping to collectively achieve will be the distance from St. Louis to Oslo Norway, or 4,308 miles. There will be prizes for the top group and top individuals who walk / run the longest distance.
