Africa Post #1

Monday, May 24, 2010

The real posts about Africa won’t start until later this year.  We’ll be sharing more about exciting developments there as the year progresses.

But we had an excellent tune-up last weekend, participating in Ellie’s Run For Africa - a 5K race that allocates proceeds toward important development initiatives in Kenya.  Ellie’s Run was started six years ago by then 10 year old Ellie Ambrose.  Now 16, her efforts have raised significant money to help the most needy in the slums of Kiberia.

After parents and older siblings labored through the 5K, the real fun began:  the kids’ one mile fun run.

The festivities were designed to give participants a real taste of Africa…

Kudos to Ellie for accomplishing so much Kingdom good at such a young age. 

Stay tuned for more about Africa…
