Sponsor an Ultramarathon for ELIM Retreats!
On February 18th, 2017, friend of ELIM Retreats Jeff Porter will be participating in a 100K Ultramarathon in support of ELIM Retreats. He has taken up the challenge to run this grueling race, and he is challenging YOU to sponsor him. All donations will go toward the operating expenses of ELIM Retreats.
Yes! I want to sponsor Jeff in his Ultra-marathon Challenge.
About Jeff Porter
Jeff started running 6 years ago because he quit playing basketball and figured he better do some sort of exercise. He had never ran before and start with a ¼ mile and eventually did two miles on the treadmill before entering his first 5k at Old World Wisconsin, the race environment, excited of all the people got him hooked. Then a friend introduced him to trail running and again the beauty of God’s creation in the woods, the beach, the mountains, etc is where he thrives! Fast forward to today (six years and almost 20 races of marathon or longer later) Jeff is attempting his first 100k trail race: the Black Canyon 100k. Jeff loves to run for things bigger than his own goals and is so excited to support such an incredible ministry as Barnabas. As a missionary with his wife and daughter for 15 years he understanding the needs that pastors and missionaries have to be “ministered to”. This time of year is such a crucial time for giving to your favorite charities and Jeff says, "I can’t think of a better way to end the year by giving to Henry Stewart and Barnabas and Elim ministries! And hey you can also be part of this crazy Ultra Marathon 100k in February! How fun is that!"
Jeff thanks the Lord every day he can get out to the trails and his wife for all the support she gives.
