Are you up for a challenge? Are you ready to burn a few calories and raise funds for those who need your help? Would you like to make a difference on February 23? Then join Missionary Ventures in our fourth annual 5K Fun Run.

We are calling on you to participate in your city on February 23 at 8:30 AM. The MVI 5K Fun Run can be as simple as running/walking in your neighborhood or at a local park to run/walk the 5K together. All participants will receive a t-shirt* to wear during the run/walk.

New this year: Registration for children ages 0-12 is FREE.

  • The top 3 finishers (men & women) will be awarded a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place ribbon.
  • All children (ages 0-12) who participate will receive a ribbon.
  • The top three fundraisers of the entire 5K will receive one of these prizes – 1st place Kindle e-reader, 2nd place iPod Shuffle, 3rd place Publix gift card for $30. (In order to be eligible for a prize, the funds you raise must be sent in under your name.) Download a sponsorship form here.

Funds raised for the 2013 Fun Run will be dispersed in the following areas

  • Child Sponsorship: Funds will enable MV to feed, educate and provide medical care to children whose families are unable to provide these basic necessities.
  • Equipping Indigenous Leaders: Funds will go toward Biblical training and teaching, pastoral sponsorships and the development of micro-enterprises.
  • Where Most Needed: Your gift to “Where Most Needed” allows us to pool donations for underfunded projects and to equip MVI with vital resources (including personnel, materials, and supporting services) to accomplish our objectives of assisting indigenous Christian leadership, enabling them to reach their own people with the love and message of Christ.

Please consider joining us on February 23 as we make a difference in the lives of people around the world.

*Please pick up your t-shirt from the MVI office (5144 S. Orange Avenue Orlando, FL 32809) from 9:30-4:30 February 18-21 or pick up on the race day at Cypress Grove Park.
