RUN4BIBLES is a Bible League program designed especially for school students. It’s a fun, outdoor event where students take part in a fundraising event that coincides with the school’s cross country or fun run. The students are encouraged to get sponsored by their friends and family to run in the cross country and all funds raised will go towards placing Bibles and Bible studies in South African Public Schools. Bible League is seeking to raise funds to expand this public schools program across South Africa.
A BIG thank you to Dalby Christian College for participating in R4B program for the last 3 years.
Lynda Wanka, the school chaplain at Dalby Christian College explained that, "approximately 150 students participated in the run at Dalby Christian College this year. Students ran between 2 - 6 km depending on age (Prep to year 12). The cross country was run in and around the school (we have some paddocks and tracks at the back of the school), with students finishing on the school oval.
Judson house (Blue team) won the overall competition. Students were awarded points for competing. Lots of students chose to compete this year, and I think the Run4Bibles gave them extra incentive."
Lynda has been an amazing coordinator with running the program, distributing and collecting sponsorship forms, collecting money and being Bible League's contact person throughout the planning process. After this year’s Run4bibles Lynda said ‘I was pretty excited at the amount raised ($2,471.35) and the impact that can be made through those Bibles.'
