Being cheered on by his daughter while running #4THEM. This is what Stuart said about his attempt... It was an enjoyable challenge which I was grateful to partake in. Thank you for providing an avenue to care for the global church through 4THEM. I think it's something of high priority for Christians, and I'm glad I could put that on the radar for people, and keep them thinking outside of their SA context. #run4them #opendoorssa #perspirewithapurpose #goodcause
It was fun to see them run, families doing it #4THEM. No matter the weather, they got together... just to say, we will pray. #funrun #run4them #goodcause #opendoorssa #pray4them #perspirewithpurpose
