Hi everyone,
I pray God has been blessing you this spring with the joys of new life that he brings. We are working hard here getting ready for a fundraiser for a lot of the youth that I work with at the Jicaro Project. If you wouldn't mind, could you please take a minute to read the letter below and consider supporting these precious youth? They are working so hard for the sake of Christ, reaching out in love and humility to their peers, and winning hearts for the Kingdom! They have been working ceaselessly planning the race this year, and we are not seeing a lot of responses from businesses here, who have been affected, as everyone has, by the economy. Please pray for them as they have set their hope in God to provide for their clubs this year. I know He will work it ALL out for our good. If you know anyone who has been touched by Young Life, please consider sending this email along. Thank you so much for your time, Jacque
Dear Friends,
It’s almost time for the Granada, Nicaragua Vida Joven club’s annual 5K Fun Run to raise funds for the year to come. This year we are celebrating our 6th anniversary of the Run with a city wide race on April 5th, supporting five existing clubs and two more in planning. Obviously, Vida Joven is thriving in Granada. Our target for this year is $8000. Thanks to the generosity of friends like you, last year we were able to exceed our goal of $7000. As you know, the Fun Run is the principle event to support the Granada clubs.
The clubs are hard at work planning this year’s run. This is an exciting year for us as we have asked the leaders of the five current Vida Joven clubs in Granada to actually plan, organize and execute the race. It is an enormous task, but we have seen so much growth in the leadership as they take the initiative to make this year’s race a success. We’ve come so far since the first race, and Granada has been blessed by the many Vida Joven clubs in the city producing a generation of Christian young adults who are now leading their younger friends and neighbors toward Christ.
Here is your chance to lend your support. You can easily contribute via PayPal on the official race website: www.5kgranada. blogspot.com. You will see plenty of photos from previous year’s events.
Thank you for your help, for your prayers and your care for the youth in Nicaragua.
Sincerely,
All of us involved with supporting Vida Joven in Granada, and El Puente.
