I Made a Difference Today Fun Run 5K
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 25? Then join Missionary Ventures in our third annual 5K Fun Run.
We are calling on you to participate in your city on February 25 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. Every person who registers will receive a t-shirt to wear during the run/walk.

Funds raised for the 2012 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.
- Education: Funds will provide education for children from pre-school to high school and for adults to attend Bible college.
- 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 25 as we make a difference in the lives of people around the world.
