New blog...

A friend of mine - Adam - completed a 100-mile run to raise money for a missions scholarship. It was a smashing success. Read about it and his new 'Run for Missions' blog below. (This is the first post on the new blog.)

Dear Run for Missions Supporter,

Thank you so much for your gift in support of the Run for Missions 2008! These funds will be used for scholarships for EFC-MAYM college and graduate students intending to serve on Friends Mission fields. We set out to raise $10,000 and look what has happened because people like you caught the vision! Can you believe exactly $12,772.65 (as of 12/31/2008) has been raised from 129 different individuals and churches since August? Thank God!

Imagine a day when our church can take it to another level in supporting the work of missions, getting behind our missionaries in financial support not only from the time they go to the field until they come home, but from the first day of their calling and throughout their schooling and education process! You have helped make this a possibility.

Thank you!

Allen Smelser and Adam Monaghan
