Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!
All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize.
1 Corinthians 9:24–25 (New Living Translation)
Something spectacular is happening right now in Honduras. For the first time ever, IntSam’s team leaders from all over the world are meeting up to discuss mission-driven pathways to end poverty, and they’re kicking off the summit by running the IntSam Global 5K together. I like to think of it like an IntSam version of the Avengers! They all have a message to share with you:
Get inspired to run by IntSam leaders around the world!
If you didn’t pick up what they’re putting down, the Intsam Global 5K starts TODAY. The race goes from now until November 5th. We’re so excited to share this incredible experience with you. What an amazing way to start this year’s race!
Inspired but not really a runner? Help the water flow by donating directly to Team Tegucigalpa.
