“Run For Jesus” (RFJ) is an evangelical roadshow dedicated to sharing the message of Christ’s Crucifixion and Resurrection. Through vibrant community events, we unite Christian youth from diverse backgrounds, fostering fellowship and faith.
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:
Together, let us glorify the Lord God Almighty and make the RUN FOR JESUS evangelical roadshow a remarkable success!
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

We envisioned RUN FOR JESUS in 2011 with just 30 locations. Over the past 11 years, it’s been amazing to see the response from different Christian communities joining the rally year after year.
