Running in Faith www.runninginfaith.org
While sitting in my cube on the morning of 6/4/2007 an idea popped into my head about Christians getting together to meet, run, pray and share the Word of God. I jotted down some notes and later that night conducted some research on the web looking for such a club, but could not find anything. Some similar Christian athletic clubs exist but I did not find anything in the Portland metro area focused on running. After a few minutes of humm??, It was as if the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said “Why not start a Christian running organization?” After prayer and a few conformations I was very excited about giving this a GO. So here we are; a few weeks later, a web site and a kick-off run schedule. I continue to pray and ask God where He wants me to go from here. You are welcome to join me in developing this idea/organization, build each other up, and get or stay fit. Meet,Run,Pray,Share.
The mission of the group is:
1) Sharing John 3:16 thru spiritual and physical development, via group meetings, goal setting, discussion and participation in exercise, nutrition, and most of all relationship with our Lord Christ Jesus. 2) Encourage everyone to move dampening the grip Cardiovascular Disease has on the human race by providing opportunities to enjoy a metered run or walk.
