My personal message:

With your help, we can impact a community for years to come. We have the opportunity to purchase a plot of land next to the school where we can build three more classrooms and begin a pharmacy/medical clinic/AIDS awareness center.

 

$8,000 is needed to purchase this valuable land.  To help us meet our goal, several people that believe wholeheartedly in this important work are running marathons and inviting friends like you to join in this journey by supporting their runs. This is a run for their lives! Will you prayerfully consider helping to bring education and healthcare to Congolese children?

 

We look forward to your partnership!
