Uniting Hearts, Proclaiming Faith

WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY OF FAITH

We're Happy You’re Here

OUR JOURNEY

Our Journey with RUN FOR JESUS began in 2011, when we started with just 30 locations. Over the past decade, this initiative has flourished, expanding to 350 locations, thanks to the enthusiastic participation of youth from churches across the region.

The heart of RUN FOR JESUS lies in proclaiming the message of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, to our neighbouring communities. Throughout this journey, we have also addressed two vital concerns of the Church:

  • Uniting our Christian brethren from all denominations, both Catholic and Protestant.
  • Creating meaningful opportunities for outdoor evangelism, showcasing our youth in a vibrant and active manner.
  • We warmly invite all “Servant Leaders” to embrace this opportunity and organize RUN FOR JESUS events that involve all churches in  their areas.

Together, let us glorify the Lord God Almighty and make the RUN FOR JESUS evangelical roadshow a remarkable success!

Chapter 12:1-2

Hebrews

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith
