We had our first annual PowerPoint Fit for Life Family Fun Run and 5K this morning. And, I'll tell you, it was fun! For a first-time run we had an incredible turnout with more than 600 people (and a couple of beagles)..
. The folks I spoke to said they had a great time, and I was so happy to hear it because we're already pumped about next year! We started with the one-mile Fun Run around the Prestonwood campus. The cool thing was that because it was contained, it was safe for the whole family. And we had a lot of little kids out there, including my lightning-fast grandson, Ian! Then the 5K took us through a nice neighborhood just north of the church. I can testify that it w
as a bit challenging with a couple of pretty good hills, but I had a blast running with my daughter, Kelly, and I felt pretty good when we finished.
The kids had a great time in bounce houses and we had s
ome local companies on "Sponsor Alley" giving out free food and drinks and lots of coupons. And besides providing a great event for the community, the run and 5K benefitted PowerPoint Ministries. My heart has always been in taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth, and PowerPoint allows me to do that. I'm grateful to all our PowerPoint listeners and supporters--including the new ones we met today!
