RUN4BIBLES

What?

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 through our Run 4 Bibles program in 2012. Your school can help!

It costs just $5 to provide a student with a study booklet and a Bible.  Imagine the impact that such a small investment can have on the life of a student, their family and ultimately South Africa.

A BIG thank you to the students and staff of Thomas Hassall Anglican College for their help with our Run4Bibles DVD!

When?
RUN4BIBLES is held during the school’s cross-country or fun run event. Implementation includes encouragement for the students leading up to the event using our Run4Bibles DVD.

Why?

RUN4BIBLES is all about inspiring students to make a difference!

This event empowers students to touch lives outside of their current sphere of influence as they bring the hope of God's Word to transform people's lives for eternity. A practical activity that all students can get involved in, this event helps them put their faith into action. Whilst this program educates students about the impact of poverty and persecution, it also highlights the reality of the transformational impact of God's Word.

• To run with motivation and a real purpose, helping to bring real change to public schools in South Africa;
• To develop a global focus touching the lives of those outside the school community, while helping to build empathy;
• To pray for others in less fortunate circumstances; and
• To provide Bibles and Bible studies to children and young people in South African public schools who otherwise would never have the opportunity to have a copy of their own.
• The event can compliment the existing school calendar, through the annual cross country or fun run.
• This is a great motivator for kids who may not usually participate in cross country.
• Requires minimal input by school staff as Bible League provides all promotional materials.
• Coordinating staff will feel supported as a Bible League representative will provide them with assistance.
