On Monday, July 25th,
My family along with others will be doing a 4K fundraiser walk//run to raise funds for the people of Myanmar (formerly Burma)? Our church has been supporting a local pastor who runs an orphanage (around 15 kids) and a Bible seminary (around 12 students) out of his home. An organization called, Mission to Myanmar is organizing 4K runs though out the world in a effort to raise money for the ministry there. The funds we are attempting to raise will complete the building or an orphanage and Bible seminary and fund the work of Jesus Christ.
Last year the people of Myanmar were devastated by natural disasters. Many of the people survive on $5/day. Last year after the flooding, there was an entire village that had resolved to die due to the devastation and no food. The Pastor that we are working through was able to get to them deep in the country with a truck load of food and supplies. He literally saved an entire village with the funds that we were able to send. This is just one, of the many stories about what God is doing in Myanmar.
I am asking you to take a few minutes and explore the website and consider giving to the life changing work being done there. You are not supporting our families to go on a walk, you are investing in an active, God-honoring ministry that is truly changing lives.
Here is the link to make a donation, http://miles4myanmar.com/sponsor/ There are two ways to make a donation.
• As an individual you will need to enter YOUR first name, YOUR last name and YOUR email. MY racer ID (746), the name BRIAN MARSHALL (our family is registered under this name ) and the amount you will give.
• As a corporate sponsor http://miles4myanmar.com/org-sponsor/ choose the CA - Modesto > Del Rio M4 race and enter in the info requested.
There is a youtube channel with videos from Myanmar and the work that is being done, feel free to watch the videos here: https://www.youtube.com/user/PastorMarkRob/playlists
We hope to raise over $3000 for our race and over $75,000 over all. The winter months are coming and the projects needs to be finished. Our church will be matching every dollar we raise for our race, please be as generous as possible as the money has a huge impact on the people and will be doubled!
Thank you for your support.
To God be the glory !
