Run for Mukhanyo

A young lady from our church, Morgan Lewis, found a unique way to honor the life of her grandmother, Beth Rettig.  Beth had a heart for the needy and vulnerable children of South Africa and her vision helped to found Mukhanyo Christian Academy to serve those children.  Last year Morgan and friends from her school organized and hosted the first Run for Mukhanyo.  This year, they are hosting the second annual Run for Mukhanyo, and Luke will be participating!

Runners will gather at the Lewis house on the morning of Columbus Day (the anniversary of Mrs. Rettig’s death) to run.  With the accompaniment of grown-ups, they will be running quarter-mile laps around the neighborhood block on which the Lewis family lives.  Runners raise support either by one-time donations or by per-lap support.  Runners will have an hour in which to run as many laps as they are able.  All proceeds from the race go to Mukhanyo Christian Academy.

In lieu of contacting or pressuring anyone personally, we’ll just include the relevant links below so that you can participate if you wish.  (Plus, I know that quite a few of you who read this blog have your own little people registered in the event!)  Please will you pray for Luke to train well and to run as unto the Lord?  What a good opportunity for him to see his perseverance and sacrifice being used to the service of the Kingdom!
