Race to Share the Gospel Around the World

Gather with us for FUN, FOOD, and FELLOWSHIP as we host our first in-person race.

Gather with us for FUN, FOOD, and FELLOWSHIP as we host our first in-person race and join one of our Albanian Pastors in this 1-mile Fun Run!

In-person racers will also receive FREE registration for the Virtual Challenge of your choice.

This virtual event invites participants to run, walk, hike, or swim 13 miles between April 27 and May 12 to raise funds and bring awareness to the work we are doing to tell people in the Balkan Region the truth about Jesus.

This year Participants will virtually navigate through the streets of an Albanian city with the opportunity to pray for those who haven’t yet heard the Good News of Jesus.

By entering your distances as you complete your miles, you will encounter Milestone Markers with prayer suggestions for real places as your icon travels along the race path on your progress map, allowing us to virtually flood the streets with prayer and creating a Kingdom presence among lost souls.

Our goal this year is to raise $15,000, giving more than 18 million people the opportunity to access the Good News of Jesus. While it is not a requirement to participate, would you consider asking people to sponsor your miles or make a donation to help us reach this goal?

Because this is a challenge, and not a traditional race, you are able to break up the distance over the 16-day period. Doing as little as 1-mile per day will allow you to complete the challenge in the allotted time. Here are some suggestions of ways you may choose to participate:

Find a track to run/walk (4 laps = 1 mile)
Find a park with trails nearby
Go shopping and track your distance for the trip
Play three rounds of golf (avg. course = 5 miles per 18-holes)
Swim laps in a pool (Olympic pool = 16.1 laps/mile or standard pool = 32.2 laps/mile)

All funds raised this year through the Race to Share the Gospel Around the World will benefit the work we are doing in the Balkan Region.

As a Cheerleader you can:

- Spread the word about the race
- Become an individual or team fundraiser
