🏃♂️ Race Overview
The Hearts for Missions 5K is being held on behalf of Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church’s Missions Group. The proceeds from this walk/run/race will go toward efforts that aid in providing resources for the following:
- Cleveland County Rescue Mission: Supporting local needs.
- Hurricane Relief: Assisting those affected by Hurricane Helene in Asheville, NC.
- Guatemala Missions: Supporting the Colegio Innovando Sonadores, Casa De Dios orphanage, and Hogar Gloria De Dios rest home.
- Christmas at the Ridge: Helping vetted under-privileged children receive gifts for Christmas.
📖 Spiritual Insight
In Apostle Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, he addressed and spoke about several things. Two of which were “running a race” and “competing in the games”. For example:
- 1 Corinthians 9:24: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
- 1 Corinthians 9:28: Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.
Sure! In this 5K, there will be prizes. HOWEVER, for the purpose of this 5K, it doesn’t matter if you’re first or last. WHY? Because the “PRIZE or CROWN” that you will receive for helping GOD’s people/children or potentially bringing someone to Jesus Christ will be eternal.
🎖️ Prizes and Awards
In Matthew 6:20-21 Jesus said, “20 But store up for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
