Life is a race…what kind of race are you running and how will you run it? Running with Purpose ought to be all of our goals. To accomplish our mission, we have the following ‘course markers’ in which to guide us.
Course Markers:
- Encourage people to find God’s purpose for their lives. And by living out that purpose, they find passion for daily living. By using a multi-faceted running, fitness, and preaching teaching ministry, we will enable people from all walks of life to get fit for life both physically and spiritually.
- Enlist Christian runners to make a deep impact for Christ upon their communities by starting or being a part of a local running club. All over America our running community has been forgotten in our modern evangelism efforts. Last year alone over 400,000 Americans attempted the daunting task of finishing a marathon. Runners understand the joy, sense of accomplishment, and benefits that come from living, training, and giving 100%. A grass root effort is under way to give Christian athletes the means to live out their passion for Christ and for running by glorifying God, testifying of His amazing grace, and showing by example that with God Nothing shall be impossible!
- Equip runners with the resources both physically and spiritually to enable them to take their training, racing, and Christian experience to another level.
- Educating Christians, schools, and churches that physical exercise is very much a spiritual activity. Through good stewardship of their body that the Lord has given them, life- long spiritual lessons, truths, and adventures can be lived and learned.
Why Running?
Why Running? Can Running be a Christian Activity? Why should Christians Run?Spiritual truths are conveyed through running by:
• Running is used many times in the Bible to illumine and illustrate spiritual truths.
• Running teaches us to overcome preconceived physical personal limitations which transfer over to our walk with the Lord and what we can and cannot do for the Lord. Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” This verse is more than words of encouragement; it is a truth that must be lived. Running has taught and will teach this truth in a very real way.
• Running promotes self-discipline. (1 Corinthians 9:24-27)
• Running teaches sacrifice. (Hebrews 12:1,2)
• Running promotes total abandonment and commitment to accomplish a goal.
• Running is pure in its endeavors. It is never subjective nor does it ever short-change you. Just like the Christian life, you get out of it what you put into it…and more!
• Its goal is singular in its focus. You run…running is what you do. “This one thing I do…I press toward the mark (the finish line) for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14
