2024 San Antonio Marathon + Half
March 3, 2024
Your Race Weekend GuideDear Team, It’s a privilege to serve you as you move your feet (no matter what that looks like!) on behalf of others. I watch you come together to serve each other and cast vision for reaching the vulnerable around the world who move their feet as they are trapped in a cycle of poverty. When you fundraise, YOU change all that! You bring hope and life to places that need the bright light of Jesus boundless love. Jesus said he was the living water. That image should not be lost on us. We are connected to each other and the children and families waiting for us to raise another $50 so one more person in their community will have clean water that flows and gives life to weary women and children. That clean water speaks. That clean water says God loves them and made a way! Keep asking! Be part of the Kingdom work that we all are tasked with! Run your race. When it gets hard….think of the children standing at the ceremony to open the next finished water project, kiosk, well….and SMILE!!! Grateful for each one of you! Cheering you on!!
